Secret Houseplant Trade?

Ladies,

I'm back but it's going to take me a couple of days to catch up on my chores. Wouldn't you know DH has food poisoning... I've been holding his head while he was toilet hugging and rubbing his back to try to help him get to sleep... he is such a good person.

But I'll be back fat and sassy soon.

HOly cow Judy, you 've got the plants don't you LOL, I just looked at your web site, their beutiful, And darn it , I just love begonias too. I do have to remember, i'm clearing out things and not bringing things in > Which is so hard for me.

kathy_ann

BUT they can handle abuse!!! Trust me or they would not be here.
lol lol lol

I have green wandering jew, sweedish ivy, arrowhead plant, and lipstick plant cuttings to trade. What do you have to offer?

I have many varieties of begonias - Lots of Rex, anglewing, Dragon wing, large cane type, trailing, fancy leaf, miniture varieties, and others. I have three large goldfish plants that I can start cuttings. I also have many african violets - two different variegated types. have other varieties of plants as well. I would like to do a trade. I have been collecting begonias so looking for varieties that I dont have. I have heard of a bronze colored anglewing. Anyone have this one to share or other varieties? I also like anything unusual.

Hi all. I am a new member here at Dave's Garden. I have Nematanthus "Christmas Holly", N. "Black Gold" and N. "Tropicana". I would love to trade for other goldfish plants. I am particularly looking for "Dugny" and/or "Lemon-Lime". I also have Hoya polyneura and Hoya pubicalyx. I would like to have the Shooting Star Hoya which I think is H. multiflora. I also have Walking Iris (not a houseplant but I've got lots of it), a huge Monstra and a huge Bird's Nest Fern. I don't know how you would propogate the fern but I'm willing to share.

I just found this thread....is this trade still happening?

hiya scoobysuey,
It never really formed as a group trade and was started because many folks either don't want "common house plants" in trade for their garden plants or a lot of us just want to trade house plants.
If you have any house plants up for trade just post to this thread and if someone is interested they will post a reply here, too.
It's a great place for beginners to start trading too.

I made several trades here and was very happy.

Soooo whatch got up for trade???

MsC

the only things I have are borros tail, angel wing begonia, I have some basic green spiders, which i am sure nobody wants.....aloe, which again, sure nobody wants...........and thats about the extent of it......but if anyone has interest in those or even maybe for postage? sorry but i am quite new at the houseplant thing.......I really would enjoy to broaden my horizins with some stuff i dont have.....oh yeah, have a verigated pothos, again nobody wants probably.......I will include a pic of the AWB for you to see......the only unusual thing i have.....

Hiya Scooby,
I'd love to trade for a cutting of your begonia..I don't have that one.

I'll send you my info in a email on DG .

Glad you posted:)

MsC

I have alsobia cygnet to trade for other blooming houseplants. These are small well rooted little plants. They look best with three planted to a pot, so the trade will be for three plants. Lou

Lou,
What are you looking for in trade for your Alsobia plantlets?

MsC

Flowering houseplants-easy to grow if possible. What do you have? Lou

Lou,
I'll send you a list of some possibles late this afternoon.

Thanks!
MsC

Patti I'd like to see your bromeliads.
I'll have more AV's to trade...lol

MsC :)

MsC,
I can post pictures in the morning.. I have two different types. Here is the description of one of them It is green with pink tips. I have two of this next one (green with this big pink bloom coming out of the center). It is not open yet. As I think about it, that probably describes a number of bromeliads. LOL Silly me.
Patti

I also have Tradescantia zebrina ( Aka wandering jew ) , and I have Asiatic dayflower blue flower( pictured).Bridal veil Tradescantia ( small white flower that looks like babies breathe) also have a very small leaf green wandering jew too.

Does anyone want a Euphorbia tirucalli ? I have a well rooted plant which I am not fond of. It is maybe about 8 inches. I bought it as "Sticks afire" or some such name and it was sort of blushed in color when I purchased it but now it is light green in color. It is several years old but I haven't been nice to it and it deserves a better home. It is healthy though and has spent the summer outside.

I could throw in a Stapelia gettleffii (unrooted but easy to root) cutting. Stapelia gettleffii gets a large cool looking flower that is stinky. It is a great plant for kids. I got it from Logees a couple of years ago. http://www.logees.com/prodinfo.asp?number=S7540-2

Trade for some sort of plant cutting that makes a nice hanging plant - nothing fancy just something I don't have.

OK compost pile it is. I am not going to drag in one more thing to nurse over the winter I don't particularly like.

OK I couldn't do it. I made it as far as the compost pile and it just looks too healthy. I guess it has one thing going for it I probably can do just about any amount of neglect to it (and I have) and it isn't going to die. Who owns who?

Hi, do you still have cuttings of that Stapellia G. ? I am just getting into succulents and cacti, and would love a cutting, what would you like? My tradelist needs to be updated, but ask, I may have it, just not on there. I find it difficult to do on there for some reason.
Thanks, and if not, thanks anyway!!! :)
Ruby

I want in it too.I have tropicals rooted for trade for house plant cuttings if anyone is interested.Would love anything colorful or that flowers.I would even stoop to begging some cuttings for postage.lol.Thanks,Jody

Hi Rose318, do you still have any of the Queen of the Night cuttings??? I am new to them, but would love to try growing them, what are you looking for? I have brugs, Frosty pink, and other plants, just let me know and thanks!

Anyone interested in a end of year trade. I have some clippings of the following:

Purple/Green Wandering Jew
Green Wandering Jew
Baby Jew "Basket Plant"
Creeping Charlie
Green Spider Plants
Varigated Spider Plants
Marble Queen Pothos
Golden Pothos
Mother in law Tongue
Rubber Tree
Ficus Tree
all pretty common houseplants.

snboyken, I'd absolutely love a secret houseplant trade. I've never done a Round Robin, so I don't have a clue how to start one, but if you'd be willing to post it on the Round Robin board and handle getting it started, you can count me in right off the bat! I have some actual plants, and a few clippings I could contribute to the swap.

Edited to say: Or post to this board, or however one gets one of those things started... :o) I wasnt' trying to tell you how to do it. :o) I just don't want to start it 'cause I don't know how. I'm on one robin, but it hasn't been shipped out yet, so I don't even know what to expect.

Hey, "y'all", up here in the frozen North I have brought all my houseplants in for their purgatory period. (They either die and get composted or they live, and go to heaven, i.e. the patio for another summer! lol) I'm definitely interested in a houseplant trade after I take inventory and get some rooting hormone! I like things that creep, twist, or cascade. (Clear as mud, that's me!)

xxx Carrie

Let me know when you're ready, Carrie. If it's not too cold we'll see what we can work out.

carrie, i would love the see your inventory list when you get it ready. Thanks Raingazer for the trade.

I'm rooting my goldfish plants, so I hope I'll have some ready to trade soon.....

Linda

Keep me in mind when you have some ready. Thanks.

snboyken,

I would really love to get the Green Spider Plant, Baby Jew "Basket Plant"and Mother in law Tongue. Is there anything inparticular your looking for or if you will accept shipping for those. Please let me know

Char

Linda, please let me know when your goldfish plants are ready. Hopefully we could work out a trade.
