First, I'm so happy about my Clerodendrum "Bleeding Heart." I got a small, 6-inch cutting last summer with only one leaf, and for the longest time, it did nothing. It finally got a shoot and a couple of leaves, but then it sat and did nothing for months. I went to repot it and found it had zero roots. I didn't think it would live, but I repotted it in new soil anyway. Now it's suddenly growing like mad and starting to twine. The only thing I had that was tall enough was a small shepherd's hook, but it barely fits into the pot, so I'll be repotting it soon. I'm hoping it's growing because it's now rootbound, but I guess I'll find out. CLICK PHOTOS FOR FULL PICTURE.

Silvia, remember that cutting you sent me of Wallisadi's begonia? Well, this is what it looks like now. Strangely enough, I started talking to it when you told us he had passed, and it started branching and growing like mad, and now it has a huge new shoot coming up. It's getting a beautiful new pot and I can't wait for it to bloom. I'm going to have to get a taller stake for sure. Door for scale.
