I purchased a box of Optimara minis a couple years ago to sell at a local festival for Mother's Day. Unfortunetly most everyone just wanted the plants and not the self watering pots because of the price so now I have 21 ceramic self watering pots but only 5 of the plastic pots that go in them and 6 wicks.
I'd like to trade for well rooted episcia stolons and/or well root av babies. I will also consider av leaves.I prefer not to have to wrap and box single pots so would like to make a deal for the lot in one trade.
I have episcias:
Faded Jade
Tropical Topaz
Kiwi
Strawberry Patch
Silver Skies
I have several av's too lazy to list but I like variegated leaves,multi-colored blooms,mini's and trailers.
Make me an offer I can't refuse.
Peggy
Trade anyone?
I will send dmail . . .
i will send d-mail when I get off work and let you know what episcia I have .I would like the ceramic pots very much and at least one plastic pot ( or demensions of it) so I could fine the inner pots to fit them. Lou
bigred, I wish I had something to offer you, but my epicia are recuperating from being left outside in the cold. I didn't know that they couldn't survive below 50 degrees. We had a few cold nights and between the wind and the temp, they almost went belluy-up. They look like they will survive. I'm hopeful. Those pots are beautiful. I can't believe that no one wanted them.
imadigger,
I left a couple of episcias over winter in my unheated lean-to. Kiwi and Tropical Topaz. I thought they were gonners too. Only had some tiny,tiny center leaves left so I thought what the heck,I'll try so I brought them inside and put them on a light bench. They came back out and started growing again.Here's some babies from the orginal plants I almost froze to death.
bigred, im too cold right now but Id love a start of kiwi, i love veined episcias
maybe in the spring,do you like streps
JIM
Jim,
I've grown 1 strep in my life,years ago...I killed it toot sweet but you know what they say...gotta kill them 3x before you call it quits...LOL. I've seen some beautiful streps on webpages while looking for episcias.
just takes some determination,I have killed lots of streps and epsicia and everything else
but I keep trying ,got the hang of it now,
JIM
I killed episcias Grey Lady and....? ....can't remember the other one,this passed summer. They were small,got pushed to the back of the shelf and water draining down from pot above them,drown them.
