Looking for Baby's Tears

Ridgeville, IN(Zone 5a)

I'm wondering if anyone has Baby's Tears (soleirolia soleirolii) for trade or for postage? It would be a housplant here in IN, but I understand in the warmer states it's used as a groundcover outdoors. I've been trying to find this plant for some time, with no luck so far. I have lots to trade, just let me know what kind of plant you would be looking for....or if you'll trade for postage. Thanks. Jenny

Hi, Ijust got one from a nursey that is over grown I just cut them yerterday to root you are more than welcome to have some,. Tell me what to do and they are yours!!.......Sharon

Ridgeville, IN(Zone 5a)

oooh Sharon!!! :o) I would say maybe put the cuttings in a brown lunch sack, maybe with a moist paper towel....and just box up and send them. From what I've read, if you just lay the cuttings on soil, they root really quickly.

What are you looking for in return?

Oh, you have just made my night!!! ;o)
