OH Barb, it is beautiful !!! I had one of them at my old home. We got it as a wedding present. it was 25+ years old when we moved. IT it was also about 6-7 feet tall & as I had no place for it, and no one to give it to, I had to toss it out.
That really hurt and seeing yours brought it all back. Please care for yours for me.

Very nice...I have one here about 4 feet tall, I have to keep cutting it back. It's the toughest plant I've ever owned...my sis-in-law gave it to me when it got to spindly. I cut it back and it just flourished.

Sorry about your plant Carol~you should buy another. Plants for wedding gifts? that's the best thing I've ever heard

yep, Tamara--we also were given a beautiful large False Aralia (Dizygotheca elegantissima). But I managed to kill it thru neglect. Now there is a plant I would love to own again one day.

I have one of those also but it's not doing well, don't think it likes the heat or the no himidity in here. I bought it at Wal-Mart, they have lots of plants there for a few dollars.

I'd send you one but don't think it would pass through customs~looks too much like the 'pot of choice for some'

Thanks
I never owned one an thought it was time ..$3. is all it was at walmart.

Might go back next week for one for my sis. Right now the white out blizzard is here an my yard is 4 ft drifts again.

Yes I read the Scheff. can be cut back any time an it regrows again.. The one I bought 8 years ago for my sis funeral, her son took home an loved it .

b

yes, on that I would have to agree. not to worry----and right now I have a buy one get o ne free coupon for home depot, and they have nice plants. although the last time they had this offer I could not find 2 that I wanted.

Dodge you are welcome, and yes they are nice plants to have.

Tamara,

Thats awful how we cant pass stuff to canada, when were all friends.

An to think it is so easy for mexico to cross the borders.
b

You can send to Canada but Canada can't send to you. Plants and seeds are not allowed to pass through customs....I've had many envelopes destroyed.

we CAN send to you , huh?? well well, nice to know.....

Yup, I joined a seed swap here one time and felt so bad...I got all my seeds and no one there got theirs....all my envelopes were confiscated

Hmmmmmmmmmm
That is crazy huh?

Oh . . . schleferra - nice one, Dodge.

I've got a small one going too - it's only about 2 inches tall right now, but I have big hopes for it.

Mine started out as a 1 inch plant in a 2 inch liner. I have to keep cutting it back because it grows taller that my house now. I don't want it growing up under my roof tiles and lifting them. They can take a lot of cutting. And the growing tips will root fairly easily. I have shared a lot of rooted cuttings.

I put it in the office window - had 'er covered loosely with a fruit bag, just to keep warm. It seems to be doing ok.

I had a big one somebody brought home for me, but it eventually died - dunno' why. Some bug, I guess.

There's nice once you get them going - nice fill for a lobby or any large room.

Carly is the window in sun or not?
Mine says bright window .. Not sun

Let dry between waterings .
Mine has grown new sprouts in one week her on the east windowsill..

Thanks..

Tamara.......I had all sorts of problems try ing to to ship to canada.

Ours just got stricter..

dodge, you find the best deals. You're a good shopper.

Thanks BOF

I went back there today to get my sis one......All gone.
So I went to Aldi's an bought her half dozen roses with babys breath in it .
Real.......$3.99
She was shocked......She hugged me.
Operated on for nerve damage in the elbow a week ago.
Much better now an only has a numb little finger.
Carpul tunnel she said will go for next.
She was driving today.

b

Ya know--I believe that too, Barb. I agree with Sheri---you DO find the best deals. congratulations to you!!!!

How sweet of you Dodge...flowers are the best gift ever.

Thanks girls,

Tamara , first thing she did was smell them. Went wow.

I used to take a bouqet of flowers in the winter to my late sister, she prefered Pink roses.........
Isnt that funny?

Thanks for the kind words gals..

Thanks for this post and i think that this may help in many ways. I like if anyone give me suggestion about fashion or boots.

Sorry James...not much talk on fashion or boots here...unless it's about rubber boots and gardening gloves :wink:
