Re: Ae Ae's and pups
Well...I went down to the South Fl/Jupiter/Lakepark area to go diving for Lobster...and wouldn't you know it! I came home with an Ae Ae, Dwarf Nam Wah, a Belle and 3 coconuts!!!!
Brian was kind enough to have me over to see his plants. Thanks to his Mom for showing me around, since he was out of town! What huge plants and many with fruit! Brian, the Ae Ae already has 2 new leaves on it and another pushing out! Pics to follow! Thank you for picking me out such a nice Pup! Unfortunately, we got blown out from diving on Saturday and no Lobster on Sunday, either! Thanks again to Brian, and his Mom for showing me the "Plantation"! Margie |

Re: Ae Ae's and pups
After I removed the pups from the mother , I rolled the mother over to the compost pile and left her for dead. I looked out there the other day and noticed a few more pups sprouting. Guess there will be a couple more to pot up!

Re: Ae Ae's and pups
Okay i don't understand why you would roll the mother plant over to the compost pile. Wouldn't it make more sense to leave her in the ground and keep harvesting pups off of her? Am i missing something here? Did you leave the mother corm in the ground and just cut the top vegetation off? Did the plant already produce fruit too?

Re: Ae Ae's and pups
I think it was because the mother had already fruited and was cut down to make room for new ones to fruit.

Re: Ae Ae's and pups
Great thread and beautiful plants. Did you think about slicing up the corm of the mother? I've done this with manzano's after they fruited and gotten many pups from this method. I think from two corms I ended up with 10 or more pups. Great job!
