Re: Kyle, Norma- potting mixes & postage

Kyle, 

I know at least a few of us have G4's. Most viruses are written for PCs. I
don't think they are carried by any word processing programs, but I can
understand boycotting different companies.

What degree are you going for? Just curious. Yes, I know what happened to the
cat.

Re: Mike, about Michael B

Russ,

I know this is xtra off-topic, but I think we want details on Michael. How did
he sound? Like relieved his frustration was nearing an end, or depressed that
it's totally not-do-able right now. Worry, worry, worry.

Re: Really dark, almost black SansevieriaMike, perhaps you missed my post some
days ago about Michael B.  He asked me to relay to the group that Gateway has
agreed to return his money and take the computer back, and his Mac isn't
working either.  So he'll be offline til he gets
a new computer, til further notice.  

It's good that he's finally been able to resolve this issue, it's been months
of intense frustration for him.  I'm surprised it's a Gateway that's given him
so much trouble, they've been at the top of every survey and computer magazine
review for years, along with Dell.

Re: Cold Weather

I think you all have been having colder weather than we have, or even than
Mike is having in Tennessee! This must be a fluke. 

I shouldn't mention it, because the cold front JUST reached us last night.

Re: Really dark, almost black SansevieriaYes, Norma . .  more excellent
advice.  I scanned Brown's book, but as you say, I need to "extract"
information about climate and soil from it.  And as you say, do it with a
grain of salt because he was never there in Africa.  I'm not so sure putting
energy unto obtaining "shell-based" soil will be worth the effort. although
who knows, maybe the calcium carbonate will be something a few plants like. 
Perhaps diatomaceous earth might be a good substitute. Here's a webs link for
buying it. 
http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=diatomaceous+earth&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=ff&oi=froogler
    I've been watching the low temps here in Torrance and I don't think its
dipped to the 30s yet.  But over a week with lows in the low 40s is really
unusual. My hahnii types are in the shed with the plastic roof, but still no
heat. They look a little ragged, but seem to be hanging on.  My masoniana
variegata has bit the dust although it put up a non-variegated pup which seems
healthy. Almost all my Sans are showing pups.  I expect one hell of a lot of
growth this spring.  Of the 9 leaf cuttings you gave me earlier this year,
only two turned yellow and died.  As everybody says, these Sans sure have a
strong will to live.

Dale I think your temps. are milder than mine,  we went down to 30F the night
before last.  But mine are under cover, and closed up with a heater going all
night.  I call up the   weather bureau every night when I think the temps.
will dip. 
 Dale look in the Brown book and see where they grow that will give you an
idea  what temp. they will tolerate.  Some say dry and shade, others, grow in
coral, other  in tropical forest. etc. it's a clue.    
We all need to read that book and pay attention what is really being said.  It
takes a while, I have been trying for the past ten years.  We need to ask more
questions to Hermine.  I can't read Botanical Latin.  There is a lot of
abbreviations, botanical descriptions.  Dale it's just not that easy, nor in
black and white, and the man never was in the field, the descriptions were
from all dried specimens. Some times only parts of specimens.  Dale for
instance on page 25 it says that S. gracilis from Tropical Africa. British
East Africa,  German East Africa. Without locality, so some of the species
will have good locations, which will give us an idea how to grow them.  I
guess I'll need to go out a buy a bag of ground coral, or shells, white pumice
may be related, Chuck doesn't remember the formula for that, I'll try and look
it up.    I think we will need to go through the book species by species and
look each one up, that was the purpose of printing this book out.   
  The next one S. rorida  says "Italian Somaliland.  In sandy places on the
coast near Magadoxo .  Along the east coast of Somaliland which would be a
very warm area close to the Equator. (Mogadiscio) which is the Capital, almost
on the Equator.  So you see, those of you who have Brown's book should be able
to look it up, and go to the map as I just did.  Norma

  Good advice . .  as usual. I can see if I want to continue to collect Sans
I'm going to have to find a way to keep them warmer during the winter.
Although I checked Carol Causey's plants today and even though they're all
outdoors under cover, most look pretty decent. All except the concinna. Hers
are like mine - pretty bedraggled.

    Dale give them time, as they grow, you toss out the ugly mama, and 
    only keep the best three offsets, do this every two years.  I did 
    this the last year. That is why I was able to give you plants,  or 
    I'll  cut up the leaves to start the new clean heads that I will use 
    for show. Mine will not be moved for the next three year now.

    never be pretty enough for a show.
