Best really mini's with leaf varigation?

13 years ago

So the AV Little Pueblo Girl in my 55gal terr is getting to the point that it needs "whacked". I'm thinking of replacing it entirely with a "hopefully" much smaller growing, heavily white variegated truly mini av. (The mini'er the better.) Micro mini's would be neat too if they would adapt to terr life.

There are some like AlanÃ¯Â¿Â½s Fallen Angel which I know are trailers and as such won't stay as mini as I would like. But the heavy variegation on one's like Fallen Angel would make up for that.

I know I will have to set my sights on a trade or something akin to that as it is not worth it for me to buy one plant + postage from Violet Barn or such. (And "no" -- all you enablers out there -- I do not have room for a bunch of new plants. )

So ideas on what mini's or micro mini's I should keep an eye out for? (Flower color is far, far less important than plant size.)

Paul,

There will be no advice given unless you agree to the following: You must accept and grow no less than 6 (six) mature plants, variety to be decided by the advisor; 15 plantlets, again, advisor's decision and at least 3 (three) NOIDS.

Sound good??? ;) ;) ;)

Sorry, Linda, those "terms" are far too steep. Keep in mind the limited space we apt-dwellers have, then consider that I have something in the neighborhood of 100 plants (been a while since I bothered trying to count them up). I simply don't have the space to commit to that many -- unless someone plans on "gifting" me with all micro minis.

I am bedazzled and razzled. And mystified as well as befuddled.

Oh, that. Tis a secret. One I will only reveal if you send me either one (and only one) heavily white variegated mini or two micro mini's.

Actually it is incredibly easy -- you do it the same way you insert a photo into the thread.

But where do you find the pictures? I have micro leaves....(Am I tempting you? One variety is variegated.)

Oh! That's easy too. Just Google "free smileys". There are a number of sites out there.

Why yes you are. If they adapt well to terr life, they would "fit in" with the look of my terrs quite a bit better than the larger (though still considered "small") AVs I currently have.

I have Lil' Ballerina (variegated), Pip Squeek and Lil' Periscope. Maybe we could do a trade???
