Blue Sky Vine

Ok, I'm getting roots from the leaf cuttings. I should have plenty very soon. I'm starting some more as I only started a few just to see if the leaves would root....by golly they did!

SORRY, NO MORE VINES FOR THIS YEAR. WILL TRY FOR NEXT SUMMER.
HAPPY HOLLIDAY EVERYONE!

You rooted the leaves? How? Similar to how one would root african violet?
I have a huge vine here, might try to root cuttings.

if either of you have an extra, I would love to have one. Just let me know!!!!!

Tig, you're down for one.


Tim, I broke the leaf off at the vine, rooting hormone on the tip and into moist potting soil. I couldn't believe they rooted so soon. They are outside under the plum tree so they get filtered sun.

If you excuse the ignorance, is this a vine that climbs up to the sky, or one that does not produce leaves and through it you can see the blue sky??
Any latin names for help??

Does anyone have any extra cuttings? I saw these in India, oh how beautifull they were...

man, there goes another keyboard, ruined by drool! Y'all have to stop this, I'm getting vine crazy!!!! :) and I love it, the *stop it* was just a wild moment.

Cazique, could you put me down for one, please? That vine is so pretty and different.
Thank you.

Yes Coco.
Anyone wishing to have one, please email me with addy info and I will get to you as I can. If there are many, I might need a little postage, I'm sure you understand at $3.50 per.LOL. or at least a trade.
Sound fair enough?


Tim, I was never able to root african violets.

Hi Caz,

I know we already discussed seed of this beauty but if, as some of the posts here suggest, its not the easiest of ways to propagate, I am game for a quick $3.50's worth of post (or maybe $5.00 for Europe !!). Let me know if the surplus cuttings run to an export. E-mailing an address today.

Hi guys,
I would love to trade or send postage for a cutiing..or I guess a leaf if they root that easily.....I have good luck with AV's.
Sandy

Hi all,
The leaves have roots, but I'm waiting to see a little 'sprout' or 'shoot' before mailing.

Hey Cazique...I can root my own if you just send me a couple of leaves unrooted. What are you looking for in a trade.....email me
Sandy

Okay, I've GOT to get in on this? I've been looking for this vine for some time now, and everyone's talked like it was really difficult to root---but then, no one's mentioned trying to root the leaves. My trade list's currently in a real mess---if you still have anything available, let me know what kinds of things you're looking for and I'll try to oblige, or I'll gladly send postage.

Hi Judith..funny seeing you here:)

I'm embarrassed to be crowding onto such a full bandwagon, but I am a huge flowering vine fan, as many here know. Could one of the Blue Sky Vine owners consider me too?

Please have a look at the trades I offer in return: davesgarden.com/tl/paris

Hi Cazique,
If you have any more, I would love one. Please let me know. Thanks, Debbie

you got my stamp, right???

I just looked this one up. What can I send you? Would love this one

What a beautiful vine. Have any left? Postage offer still available? Or I will find something to trade. Thanks

Can I butt in here and beg for a start of this one???

Is there any left to share with me?? Beautiful flower that I haven't see like that around here. I would love to have one or we can trade????

cazique, the cuttings hasn't still arrived....

Evert.
I don't understand. It took only 8 days to England. If you don't get them this week, I will re-send.

Did u put a green customs label on the package?

Cazique - haven't seen mine either - my Postie probably has it planted in her yard :-)

Yes, Liz and Evert....
The green sticker was put on both of them, and addresses were very clearly written on the blue-edged sticker my postmistress said to use.
Evert, yours was $9.50 and Liz, yours was $3.95.
You're right Liz (LoL) It's probably growing well somewhere...yours, also Evert.

.... Maybe. it hadn't come this week so I still wait to next week ok?

well, Evert, that's got me worried. I mailed your seeds and we didn't do anything special. Please let me know if they get there.

tiG usually seeds get here without the green label. I use them usually always.. By the way why people in US don't use stamps when mailing?

Evert, usually we don't know how much it will be to send to different countries, although we have a guide for letters. I use it for regular post of letters.
In the case of boxes, we do not know the cost and when they weigh it at the post office, they just go ahead and put the sticker on.

if I know someone collects stamps, I use them. I'm sorry, I didn't know. I also have some old stamps I'd trade you for seeds. Let me know!

Oh... I don't collect stamps, they just look more nice ;-) I buy now my stamps from the automat and they aren't very cool but.. When they sell new 300 stamp bird stamp packet I'll buy it right away!

Hi,
If you have any left I would love to have one! Let me know if you are looking for anything in particular, I may have it... I do have some yellow or orange morning glory seeds...

Please let me know!

cazique... I planted the cuttings in their own pots and watered well. Next day all were little rotten and now it seems to be that I've lost the 3 unrooted. Why?

Evert,probably they were too long in transit.
You know, dark box with no fresh air for so long. They need to be in a cool shady area for a few days to get over the shock of the trip. Then gradually moved to full sun.
Hope the rooted ones make it.

cazique, how will I know when to repot them? I have 4 leaves that are still looking just like I took them off the plant. One thing I'm worried about though. I didn't put the whole leaf stem in the dirt, about half I'd say. Should I repot now, lower, or leave well enough alone and they will put out like they are?
