You're welcome Treva!

Sounds good! I'd be tempted to put them in a clear glass and put them near a source of light until they are rooted. Then plant them in a large plastic pot. As I said, over the summer, it should be watered more frequently. Once you get it rooted, it will be very easy to grow! 

Happy growing, my friend!

THANK YOU DALE and

THANK YOU DALE and SUSAN!

 

These are actually cuttings i stuck in Dirt when I got home from Kansas.

It is a clay pot, I guess I need to redo it?

Grandpas was really crowded and full? I do think it was a plastic pot though???

I appreciate ALL of your help!

God Bless You Both

Cuttings?

  Treva, are they already rooted? You can root them in water and then plant them in dirt. I recommend a plastic pot because it will require more water during the summer months. I'm not sure you'll want to take it outside unless you can keep it out of direct sun. Too much exposure to light can really burn the leaves. 

As tall as mine has gotten, some of it looks pretty leggy, but I don't want to cut it off. I have pups that have grown off of the main plant, and they fill in the area where the main plant is lacking lower leaves.

If the cuttings are already rooted, go ahead and put them in a plastic pot, and water them more often than you would otherwise. I think they like to be misted occasionally too! Happy Growing, my friend!

Nice plant, Treva!

Treva, that's a nice looking plant? Do you have it in a clay pot? It may be happier in a plastic pot. It looks to me like it could use a bigger pot, too. This would be a good time to re-pot it because the growing season for tropical stuff is just starting. Mist it frequently, too. Once it gets really hot out, make sure you keep it in a place where the light is more filtered. It can tolerate more light during the winter months, but during the summer, the intensity of heat from direct light like that can burn the foliage. Happy growing!
