don`t forget to send me a cutting

 

How will you keep love alive when the first frosts begin to bite?

 

very simple... like we all doing
growing in the pot and move indoor in winter.

 

Is this your plant???? why would you need a cutting??? I actually want to grow it from seed but thank you for the link though!!

When you move it indoors do you water it at all??

Val

 

Thats been on my vague wants list for some time Val. So I will be pleased to see how you get on.

Is this the Thailand site http://www.seedvendor.com/t5sethgrblsk.html it looks interesting. At $3 for 5 seeds - you have nothing to lose.

There is also this http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Seeds-Thu...h=item416c916fbf&ssPageName=RSS:B:SHOP:US:101

You could also look for T. battiscombei - though its a smaller plant and flower.

I have often wondered why you rarely see it. Does that mean its a more difficult plant. On Googling I see that its usually propagated by cuttings and rarely by seed.

 

Yes I have seen those links and I think I shall order some from one of them.

It probably means it's a true tropical requiring year round warmth and humidity. Well, we generally have plenty of humidity...............
