Would there be any interest in a Canadian house plant cutting exchange??
Houseplant cutting swap...
What have you got?
I've got Christmas Cactus (see the thread "Look what finally bloomed" or something like that). Otherwise, I've got some run of the mill African violets, and a Wandering "Jew" - politically incorrect - maybe I should learn a proper name for it, some Aloe Vera and some ivy that originated in one of my bridesmaid's bouquets almost 39 years ago.
If you ever come in to Ottawa, we wouldn't even have to resort to the mails. But my houseplants have to thrive on neglect. I'm not really very good with them.
Oh yes, I have a tall cactus too that was a 3" left over at the church bazaar a few years ago. It's now over 3 ft tall and has some branches which could be cut off.

I have pretty much everything, episcia, string of pearls, string of banana, 5 different lipsticks, goldfish, Christmas..thanksgiving and easter cactus....assorted ivys..one called a mermaid, prayer plant, burros tail, er..a few hoyas...philo"silver"...um...ric rac cactus, spider plant...thats in the living room..now, if I go to the dining room.....
Sorry I don't have any house plants worth trading, but if you want to do a small spring seed trade let me know, I've got extras of a few things and would hate to see them not get used :)
a few of them are:
Lillium formosanum var. pricceii
Primula japonica
Pink Pride of Barbados
and I've got a few more I could trade so if you're interested d-mail me and I'll see what else I've got.

BTW, I don't mean to hijack your thread so let me know if you want me to start my own
I don't mind one little bit!!! Hi jack away.....I guess Canadians aren't as into house plants as our frinds further south.....
I just remembered I could take some cuttings of my flowering maple. If you're interested in trading that or seeds just let me know!
BTW, it's pink.

I've got a rhipsalis pilocarpa that I could pinch a few cuttings from.
I've got one small pot of cymbidium orchid. (from old bulb, grown to new plant) and an orchid cactus, and several spider plants available for adoption.
I would be interested in a cutting from a ric rac cactus....
I would love to participate in a houseplant cutting exchange. I'm just not sure how interested anyone would be in some of mine. It also means that I'll need to find out what some of them are called. Here I go to plantfiles.
I too would love a piece of rick rack but I dont have anything to trade - Sounds like you have anything I have and more. I seem to be moving towards cactus and epis these days.
I've been avoiding cactus, with 6 cats in the house the cactus have to be segregated into a closet with windows...I have quite a few succulents though....I only have one epi and he has been a battle for years so I'm not sure I would attempt another til I get them figured out......I'd love to get my hands on more episcias and some cool terrarium plants with flowers.
Fancy, I could send you a piece of my ric rac, and then down the road you can send me something in return...
Hey 3G that would be great! I wll d-mail you my address.
I have a lot of schlumbergias different colors - maybe I could share with you if I have a color you do not.
