Rice paper plant showing up here there and everywhere.

I planted one rice paper plant last year. There are at least 10 springing up in my yard, one is about 15 feet from the mother plant. I dont guess I mind, but they are aggressive little buggers, arent they?

Kind of reminds me of my elephant ears and passionflower vines. They show up all over the yard.

It would be a nice surprise to find one in my yard....... These are the kind of plants us Midwesterners would love to have pop up all over the yard......

Interesting reading. If anyone just has to have this plant, I can certainly help them out.

This is toooooo funny. I had been looking for dogs ages for seeds for this and I found someone who had them and traded for them. Can't wait to plant some.

Lisa,
How big does your plant get?

Last year was my first year growing it. I got it as a very small plant. It got to be about 4 feet tall. The leaves did die on it, but the stem remained viable. It has started leafing out again and is close to 5 feet tall already. The babies, of which there are at least 9 or 10 are quite small right now. The lady who gave me mine has them in her back yard and they are quite large.

Thanks Lisa. I just love the leaves on the them. Can you put them in a large pot?

I imagine but they probably wont get as large.

I would absolutely love one/some if you are wanting to get rid of them.

Thanks Lisa

What I will do is dig them up and put them in a pot (sometimes they die when they are dug up). If they do okay, I will send them out.

Lisa,
If you are planing to get rid of one or two I woulbe interested in them. . I can do a trade or postage.

Patti, I will dig up all the extras and see how they do . If they all make it, I should have plenty. Will let you know.

Lisa are you coming to the spring Florala swap April 2?? Same palce as last year. Have you heard anything from Hugo lately??

Thanks Lisa,

Donna, I probably have to work that weekend so unless I find someone to trade with, I wont make it. I wish I could. I havent talked to him in a while. I hope he is okay. We went to breakfast a while back. I emailed him to let him know when the master gardeners sale is, but I have not heard back from him. Hmmmm. Might better holler at him.
