The giveaway is for one plant each for two people, usual rules. I'll try to do this by noon on Thursday, as I would really like to ship on Friday. Shipping $7 Paypal.
That leaves me 3, none of which I want to keep, plus an unrooted one with odd coloration, which is also fair game, but it came unrooted with a little rot on the end. So I'm going to fix that and root it in perlite. Any of the others I'm interested in trading, possibly more than one at a time, for plants, seedlings, cuttings (rooted or unrooted) of Nepenthes that might do well outside in a cool but frost-free climate. I could possibly supplement with other things as well.
I'll post details later about how to propagate these by either cuttings or the pink offsets.
Kalanchoe 'Pink Butterflies' is a stunning plant when grown well. Here's my mom's plant 2 or 3 years ago. The plant is monocarpic, so it's useful to know how to propagate it. She now grows the grandchild of that plant
This is not the plant being given away:
Today I saw one gallon pots of 'Pink Butterflies' at Home Depot. Probably some familiar with the plant know that it used to be a bit pricey. The price is now reasonable ($10-$20) usually online, but still when it's priced like what I saw today it's irresistible, so I got one. This is in spite of the fact that I propagate the plant quite a bit.
Out of the pot, not a lot of roots. It looked like they just stuck cuttings directly into the soil in the pot:
I potted up all but the lighter colored one, so there are 5, put in 3 inch pots, for shipping.
Note on the left the pink offsets, still mixed with some soil. I'll use those for propagation.
