Hello from sunny Florida!!! - February 13th, 2005 at 05:11 AM
Hi all!! I am new here, and looking forward to getting to know everyone! I have a question about a plant that I purchased about 6 months ago. I bought it from walmart, the brand name is Angel Plants. Their name for the plant is a "Garland Ivy" It's GORGEOUS, but I am having trouble getting it to grow, it seems as though is hasn't grown at all in the six months that I've had it, and on how to get the clippings to root. I have clipped several pieces, and did what I normally do and they just get slimy and die. I've had one piece root (took 2 weeks!) and I planted it and it died within a month. I am at a loss, I paid quite a bit for it and I love it, so I don't want to lose it. I can't find any information on garland ivys anywhere, not even on the angel company website. It is a medium shade of green with 3 points on each leaf, no speical colors just plain green, the biggest leaves are around 2 1/2 inches long and 2 inches wide, and the stems are very hard, not fleshy like my other plants (like my wandering jews, arrow head, etc) I have been growing plants for around 7 years now and I have never had any problems like I've had with this one. I can send pictures via e-mail if anyone is able to identify it's real name (if Garland Ivy is just the company's name for it). Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Tiffany (Hudson, Florida)
