Torsten Posted February 6, 2011 SAB sells plants, but not seeds. i's a popular plant so there should be others around who can trade cuttings too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr me Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) I bought P Subpelatum and P Auritum from SAB. Nice little plants, well packed and priced. I'm going to strike a few cuttings, so if you are prepared to wait a few weeks I can help. Edited February 6, 2011 by mr me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CβL Posted February 7, 2011 I'm having trouble with bugs on my Piper. I only had Derris dust on hand, so hopefully that will dispatch them until I can find a more permanent solution. Anyone got any advice for insects? I think you can also save that seedling. Put it back into a fully-humid environment, and mist 1-2 times daily. Maybe prop up the leaves so they can generate maximum energy for the plant before they perish. If you're lucky, the plant will have enough energy reserve to send up more foliage. It's hard to tell, but was that seedling getting enough sunlight? It looks etiolated in that photo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quarterflesh Posted February 7, 2011 it was not getting direct sunlight it has been growing in the shade all its life , i thought thats how they grew! mr me i would love a cutting or 2. please pm me when they are ready and i will gladly compensate you for your help. i dont have much to trade as i have really only just begun my plant collecting last year. thanks guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quarterflesh Posted May 14, 2013 Hahaha i brought those seeds i had from a ebay seller in belize and got screwed over by quarantine, that was over 3 years ago. All good now i sourced a monster from SAB and now cant control it. Your ebay name wouldn't be e*species would it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
