my AV progress

Just wanted to share the progress I have made this year thanks to all of the wonderful people and advise given on this site. I have been bitten by the AV bug and the fever is being persistent. Please look at the stalk that was left after rooting the crown from Optimara Dali... it has babies all over the stalk.. you cant see them all. I love seeing them growing but I hesitate to do anything as I don't want to kill them. Any advise or should I possibly say reassurance would be appreciated. Happy New Year to all!! Looking forward to a great 2010!!

Welcome to the board littlehelper :)

Eventually, those "babies" (which are actual individual plants growing from a parent stem) are going to have to be removed and repotted. The stem will really be of very little use (IMO) after that happens.

I have Optimara Dali and do so enjoy the beauty of those blooms so you have quite a bit to look forward to when you get those babies all straightened out :)

Hi Dora, I will try and get some of them off of the stalk this morning. I have some thum pots to put them in. I am very excited about watching all of them grow.
The stem/stalk has more little tiny babies on it so I will let them mature a bit then see what happens.
