Recently, Andrew allowed me to sell some seeds & some plants on Terra with all funds going to charity. Here are the final results of these sales:
Total sales - $1511.00
Paypal charges - $56.80
Shipping costs - $97.78
Total donation to ICPS - $1356.42
ICPS match - $678.21
Total donation to Splinter Hill - $2034.63 ...
Thanks to everyone who participated for making this possible!

During & after the event I received a number of questions about growing methods. I suspect that there are some that were not answered - so here are the answers (or locations of the answers):
D. schizandra
Lots of people struggle to grow these guys (myself included). I've been able to find some conditions that keep them moderately content but not optimally happy (no flowers or notched leaves). Thankfully, they propagate easily (when they're not trying to die). Here are a few threads where some good info is shared ... general (2 pages), general, media, drier.
Cephalotus
- I apologize in advance because I'm probably a poor person to ask about these guys as I haven't had the assortment of issues that seem to plague others {as he knocks on wood}. I grow some on an east-facing windowsill, some in a terrarium under lights (top open ~60% in summer & ~15% in winter) and some outside all summer & in a basement cool room all winter. They've grown well in all conditions & all media types (although - I have not tried 100% LFS). I try to keep them from sitting in water longer than 24 hrs. The terrarium plants never sit in water - they get top-watered when the media looks dry.
