Dear all, I got this cute little AV from GreenDragon (it was one of hubby's choices, he made me a present one week when I was terribly down) and I don't find any info on it. Can someone look it up for me, please?
The name is Blue Horizons.
Thanks much for any help.
Alexandra
i just looked it up & it is not on fc2 yet.

How funny as I just grew Blue Horizons from a leaf. (but I don't have any blooms yet) Bonnie, I think I have grown her before?? Going to AVSA and look. OK>>not there.
Think I will google for her.
I can't find her anywhere. As a last resort (do you think I am stubborn and hard headed) I am going to look on ebay and see if she is listed anywhere.
The only information I could find is that it is a semi mini and that no one knows the hybridizer........
I think maybe there are two.......there is an Ebay listing with a picture and no description that looks like a semi mini and then Belisles has Blue Horizon listed.I guess that's not much help.....but I always like to try and solve a mystery LOL.
The one I said I had grown from a leaf is not Blue Horizon but Blue Lace, so I haven't contributed a thing (LOL)
Well you tried...LOL.
Lynn , Phoebe or anyone else who might know the answer to this question.
I am so confused about when to separate babies from their mamas. I want these perfect little plants to start out with symmetry and they don't!!!
I am thinking about potting up a lot of av babies this weekend. Do you think this Pink Feathers is big enough to separate now? I do but I don't really know.
I don't usually lose the mother leaf but I did with these babies.
I just got some help from a vendor on ebay who said that I am keeping my mother leaves too close to the light. She also said to let them grow a lot longer than this. Gee.......I just learned a lot from a pro. She also suggested sticking my av leaves in my wicking mix with a lot of perlite added...........
Live and learn........very excited that she would answer my question...........
I think it's great that she answered you. I was wondering why the leaves were cupping up and it seems like you got the answer.
I am certainly no expert,but I always used to seperate mine about that size.......Anymore I find I can't see well enough to find each individual crown until they are bigger,especially with minis.Another way to tell is by just looking at the roots and gently pulling them apart with your fingers,but I can only do that without gloves.No matter how well gloves fit it is not the same.
She told me in an email that the longer you wait to pot them up from their mama leaf, the nicer they are and she sometimes waits 6 months to let each plant develop into a nice little plant. That is why , she said, that it is important to stick the leaves in a soil less mix with perlite so that the plants literally fall apart under water.......and separate easily.
6 months! Oh that is much longer than I thought I'd need to wait. My first leaf does have plantlets and they are still small but I thought I read somewhere you should separate them when the leaves were the size of a dime. Then someone else said a nickel. Then today when I say the leaves of the semi mini I realized that they are only as big as a dime to begin with so leaf size can't bet the best way to tell.
I don't understand the perlite thing and falling apart underwater. What does perlite have to do with falling apart? Goodness I am slow sometimes.
That is what I have always done, Anna. This is all new to me frm Teazviolets.
No.....perlite and vermiculite is hard to break down and separate babies.
Soil less mix and perlite is much easier to break down and separate babies..........
Just wait until you get babies in a solo cup and the mass of roots all tied together in vermiculite and perlite..........I have to use a razor blade (one sided of course) to separate them sometimes.
Tea said that with the soil less mix the the water will knock off a lot of soil around the roots of the babies so that they separate easier.
Thanks, my friends, for trying. Please, if you have any news about her, just let me know. I like her very much, even if I don't know anything else about her.
Gail, I think you found her on ebay in Fred's store. That's where I got her. That's all the info I have too, what he wrote in the description section.
Alexandra
I did look in Fred's store..................thanks!!!
