I think so too Mel...
It's a bugger..
I keep comin' back and lookin'..
and hopin' some one will come along and
snag it..
I said either a pointsettia or some kind of
Amaranthe???
***Jdepoy11, Are you up for an experiment or two?
One I would say, get another pot/container, fill
with your potting soil.. and set close to the momma
plant.. and take one of the hanging down
stems, and touch it to the top of the soil..
see if it takes root..
*then you'd have a second one and it would be shorter...*
Again, I am not firmiliar with the actions of a pointsettia, if that's one, and it would do that things..
Sometimes too, looking at it, the trailing habits remind me of some kind of sweet
potato vine??????
**that also may cause it to send up more shoots from the bottom.. dunno????
Can any of the people who work with poinsettia's tell me if they root along the stem???? I don't usually grow them and so I'm not sure???
The other experiment would be...
*say, to do this maybe after seeing if the first
stem takes root.. not sure if I would be brave enough to do both at the same time..*
but snip one of the longer one's off... and put in water.. and see if it roots that way???
Again, this may cause more basal growth..
