Hope it's okay to post this here. I am looking for Haleakala cuttings, either from a member who may have some available or a reputable seller. I've purchased twice w one online seller and both times I've received dehydrated, wrinkled logs Etc. I've tried to rehydrate in water or liqiid seaweed...
I believe Negra is one of the largest growing cordylines with olive-green leaves that mature to near black. The ones that show the pink streaks in the foliage I know as Negra Diamond.
Dean: here is what I consider La'i, "green Ti" that I have been growing in So.CA from a cutting from family's yard in HI, about 6 foot at time we cut it up. This is the first time that the green has sent out inflorescence; it has a light purple outer appearance but the flowers have not begun to...

Same with the seeds, do you use bottom heat or just leave in the paper towel and container?
Scott, just got the package this afternoon. Thank you very much, I was not expecting so many. Let me know how I can repay you. This evening I will be re-read this thread for best results to prop the seeds. Thank you as well for the sites information and I will check out ebay.
Thanks again...
Ken, I will definitely try to work one of the meetings into my schedule. I stay in the South Bay Area of LA, almost neighbor to Carson. Travel a bit so long drives aren't the real issue, work is. But as I said I will do my best to make it out. It would be nice to meet others with the same...
Some of my mail logs have rot out too as stated with my first post. Where are you ordering from may I ask? I know waxing the ends will keep the logs but just that process can be burdensome. If you end up having some cuttings I would love to take some off your hands if you have excess.
