[QUOTE="Michelle Stevens, post: 348288, member: 11"] I though after two or three years of Mistletoe Stevens it was time for something different. Plus another member has a Festive name about being ... under the Mistletoe. Well this was because [B]Velly[/B] is a very active plant. I think "keiki" mean "little one" in Hawaiian. I was going to "birth" them in the autumn but saw they were spiking so I decided to wait under after their blooms drop. I think they may loose their blooms if I detach them from their Mother plant too soon. Never! Is she red or white? An name ideas? [B]Streetie[/B] is a Poinsettia. :p She is indeed a legend. I'm glad she came into my life. I saw [B]Duchess[/B] this morning. She still clings to life but I don't know for how much longer. All I can do is hope. I think of it this way, all the other Poinsettias in the grocery store I bought her from in December 2019 are all long dead, surely. Three years isn't too bad but I wanted to see how much longer I could have kept her alive. Her mate [B]White Princess[/B] is doing fine and there is [B]Duchess II[/B]. When I pruned[B] Duchess[/B] in April 2021 I put several clippings in a bucket of water and some rooted and my Mother planted [B]Duchess II[/B]. She is now doing fine so a part of[B] Duchess[/B] will live on if she does die. I have had added Poinsettia grief as I am concerned about [B]Streetie[/B]. She has some dying limbs and unhealthy areas. I would be heartbroken is she dies so I'm keeping close eye on her. Mid-May seems like a long time from how, before the full glory of Mother Nature can bring new life to her. She may have picked-up a disease during her time outside. They do have a very similar story. Unlike [B]Streetie [/B]if all goes well I can actually eat her fruit and harvest her seeds. [B]Pippa the Pepper[/B] is indeed lucky and I hope that luck continues into the colds of Winter. She is an new experiment as the Poinsettias have been. LOL, Sexmas only until New Years around here. I have read articles and YouTube videos of people wintering-over Pepper plants. What harm would it be if I try it. If [B]Pippa[/B] dies, it is still months after the former owner would have tossed her. If all goes well I have a new plant friend to love. Woohoo! I do love the Magic Fairy! :jolly: Just in time. I need some magic in my Poinsettia world. [/QUOTE]
