I have two baby Cygnets with blooms today :))
Baby Cygnets blooming :))
Don't know how you do it, Allison. You have a very special touch with plants.
Thanks Nanna you do also :))
These are very young babies. Most times when I get a stolon I put it into it's own little pot and they root within a week or so.
I have never run out of these to share :))
Oh Allison: Those are too cute! Are those flowers really "hairy" like they look in the photo? I've never heard of this plant before and you say they are easy to grow and root? I've got to try them come Spring!

Oh, forgot to ask ... do they come in any other color's besides white?
Lin
I'm interested in those answers also. Very cute plants.
The flower is not hairy but frllly fringe like. It's white with purple polka dots. There are other Alsobia's but I'd say thou some a little
different all close the same colors. They shoot out stolon babies like a Spider plant and Epscias . By cutting these off and rooting
each in its own pot gives you more plants to share and also encourages Mom plant to bbranch out another crown and bloom more. Most times this plant will open two flowers at one time , so the more crowns in the pot the more flowers. It like food and mositure , humidity and light . I have grown hundreds of plants from one little one I got now a few years ago !
I will most likly have more plants to share in Spring !
I have grown them into nice full 12 inch hanging pots very quickly !
Once your pot is full if you like you may let the stolons hang over the side of pots trailing and they will bloom also !
If you do a search in this forum you will find many threads with pictures and there is also a thread I wrote how to train your Cygnet ! The link was in the sticky but it's gone ??
I will try to find it for you !
