Thank you so much for getting back to me on this Keith! I agree that it's best to get it on a proper schedule. Seeing that it has stopped its attempts to grow I will support its decision by not watering. Hopefully it will be back on track in the spring. Mike, those elephantipes are amazing! Hope the...

I can 100% confirm, same as iann, that Avonia quinaria are self-fertile. I've had seeds and good seedlings from single plant every year. They will not self-pollinate like other Avonias. You need to tickle them to get seed pods. But the seeds are plenty and viable.

I've been active on social media for many years now (not FB which is generally considered to be something for "old people" :lol: ) and the very nature of social media is being international. Posting advertisements for some branch meeting or show that is relevant for very few people who hap...

This looks like a Prepodesma orpenii to me...

Thank you Terry! Yes, this being D. macrostachya, I am a bit worried that it was "interrupted" during its growth period. It still had strong looking vines on the pictures before it was shipped to me but they were of course cut for transport. It was delivered with this pot and substrate and...

Thank you Aiko! I will give it some time to decide what it wants then
