Default Re: Where did you buy. . .

I have bought from or traded with a couple dozen nurseries and individuals, and only had one or two that didn't work out. Some took more work on my part, and some came ready to explode into growth, some died, but pupped before they did, etc. Most can survive if you are prepared to work at it a little. Once in a while you get junk that is beyond hope. If it survives, it was a good deal in the end. A large portion of my plants came as tissue cultures from A and B Tropicals.

I waited forever (OK 9 months) for a TC of Pitogo (just slow going) and then it developed slowly for another 8 months in a one gallon pot, and finally a 5 gallon, and then went into the ground about 2 months ago and now the leaf tips are 9' in the air.
