Cute little piggies!
when I saw the there here with the little piggies, I thought you got some babies!!
I thought so too! ^_^
I am in AV heaven, group. I got the others I ordered from Drew's and I got a freebee called Everglory. How do I pot it because there a bunch. Do I put the whole thing in soil or divide it? I looked at it again. I think it's a plug; so tell me, please.
Hubby put another light for me :-)
If it is a plug,it should be just one plant.Just pot it up in a good soiless mix.
THANK YOU! This is the photo of my plug.
Very Pretty! I'm assuming your plug has only a few leaves?

It has 9= 4 good ones, 1 broken, and 4 teeny ones. I put it in a cup last night under the grow light. This a.m. it is perked up, and I think then broken one is also growing! :-) It looks a little different than my others. it is an Optimara Ever glory. Are they different?
There are so many varities of Optimaras.Here is their website if you would be interested.

Thanks, Lynn. I have it bookmarked!
You are welcome ^_^.
If you see more than one crown, I would wait until they grow out to be more distinct, then you can cut them off and root them. I got an "ever" something at lowes once and got 7 plants off it. I think sometimes someone will start a leaf and instead of separating babies, just let it grow, thus you have more than one crown. It will grow and bloom fine for a while and then the crows start crowding each other out and leaves die off. You'll know when to take them off. Its very pretty! tish
Thank you, Tish. I would not have known that. But it sounds like I can have lots of starts before long. I may even try to start the one leaf that got broken. This is a beautiful plant in the photo.
In an AV,unless it's a trailer,the goal is always one crown.When your babies grow from a leaf,separate them into individual plantlets.Most of the time you will also want to remove all suckers.Minis and semis generally put out more suckers than standards.
