It worked out OK, as I cut the up these giants into smaller manageable cuttings. Took all these and just put em in a vase with some flower fresh, hydrogen peroxide and Superthrive. The fragrance in the house emitted at night when they attract the moths for pollination was so intoxicating it almost ran you out of the house. I say moths as there is not much else during the night to pollinate. One night I stayed up late to photograph some buds opening on a night blooming cereus. Out of nowhere, this giant moth landed on the flower and crawled inside, then flew away. Missed getting that picture unfortunately, so I assume brugs and moths have a synergistic relationship as well. The fragrance is very similar. |
