Hi all,
how long does it take (generally) to get a flowering AV from a leaf cutting? I want to do a project with my students propagating a plant from leaves and hope to have a flowering AV by Mothers Day 2010.
Next, I have one NOID white AV, and one NOID pink AV so I am asking for donations of AV leaves. I wouldn't ask, but I have already had to spend so much for my classroom (pencils, paper, dry erase markers, little wipe boards), and borrowed microscopes (thanks again to a DGer)... The schools are strapped, but kids need hands on experience - not just paper packets. I teach in Special Ed self-contained so I have 20 students maximum (my students fluctuate as they are emotionally disabled - sometimes incarcerated or hospitalized). I don't know how the regular ed teachers are doing it with 30 or more students
question about growing plant from leaves
Hmmmm - you should be able to get flowers by Mother's Day if you pick plants that are known to be hardy and bloom early/fast. But there are no definites, alot depends on environment, lighting etc.
Hi All ,
Can you Dmail me and give me your address ? I will be happy to send you some leaves , do you want all standards or a mix , I ask so i don't send you a mix if that isn't what you want , please let me know the kinds of leaves you wish and I will get them out this week and yes you should have flowers by Mother's day as long as the conditions are right ( light , watering , fertilizing etc. ) I use a mild constant feed because if your plants are under lights then it is a controlled environment so they need food all year but not too much , kind of like people , less is more ( overeating makes you fat and under eating makes you weak and unhealthy ) so it goes with plants :)
Connie :)
Thank you so much, Connie!
send me your address & i will also send you leaves, you will need alot for a classroom.
