Description

The listing, *HUGE* Houseplant Collection! has ended.

This auction is for a collection of cuttings from some of my houseplants.

The winner will get 15 plants total, all different varieties.
I'm trying to upload pictures of all 15 of them, but for some reason, not all will show up : (

All pictures are my actual plants. Some pictures are of the cuttings, and some are of the plants you'll be receiving the cuttings from.

Here's what you'll get -

1 Rooted Spider Plant Baby - Solid green (first picture)

1 Variegated Wandering Jew clipping (4 inches, unrooted) (second picture)

1 Variegated Twisted Indian Rope Hoya/Wax Flower cutting (3 inches, unrooted) (fourth picture)

1 Pothos clipping- Solid Green- unrooted (mother plant is slightly variegated, but clippings are mostly solid, 9th picture)

1 Variegated Pothos clipping - unrooted (third picture)

1 Pink Geranium clipping - unrooted (seventh picture)

1 Purple striped Geranium clipping - unrooted

1 Rubber Tree Plant cutting, unrooted (10th picture)

1 Purple Wandering Jew clipping (4 inches, unrooted)

1 Dark Purple Wandering Jew clipping (4 inches, unrooted, sixth picture)

1 Emerald Green Wandering Jew clipping (4 inches, unrooted)

1 English Ivy clipping - unrooted

1 Variegated English Ivy clipping - unrooted (fifth picture)

1 Swiss Cheese Philodendron clipping - unrooted ( this is the smaller, vining variety, not the giant split leaf

1 Variegated Peperomia cutting - unrooted (8th picture)

Although most of these cuttings will be unrooted (all but the Spider Plant), they are all easy to grow from cuttings. Some, like the Peperomia and the Hoya, take longer than others, like the Wandering Jew and Pothos.

This would be a great collection for someone just starting out with houseplants, or for someone that just likes variety, as they are all pretty easy to care for.

I'll keep trying to upload the rest of my pictures so everyone can get a better idea of what they're bidding on.

Thanks for looking : )

Hello, would you do free shipping to Canada? this should cost only about 30cents to $1.50 more (you know your one of the few users I've fanned without asking that first) And if perhaps I dont win maybe we could trade...

Check my big plants auction aswell :)

It's posible that by the end of the auction some might be rooted aswell, right?

Yes, I can do free shipping to Canada as long as the price isn't too outrageous : ) Some of the unrooted plants may be rooted by the end of the auction (the Pothos and Wandering Jew), but some, like the Geraniums, will not be rooted because those ship best when clipped straight from the plant on the day I send them out.
Thanks for fanning me. I'm pretty sure I'm already a fan of yours. I'm going to check right now. If not, I will be! Thanks for watching and letting me know about your plant auction. I'm on my way to go check it out!

I wrap each plant individually in wet paper, then in plastic, then I usually wrap newspaper around them and put them in the mailing box. I'm always VERY careful and worried abou all the "babies" until the recipient tells me they've arrived safely! Thanks for watching and good luck : )

You are very welcome : ) I am trying to get a really big houseplant collection going for myself, as this is the first time I've ever lived in a REALLY big house where I could have as many plants as I want. As I get more plants, I'll be offering clippings, so please keep an eye on my auctions : )

Would you consider doing an auction of just hoya plants? They are my absolute favorite house plants! Do you just have the one variety or are there others? Thanks! Great auction.

At the moment I only have 2 Hoya varieties. I won another one last week, but it hasn't got here yet. The two I have aren't very big, as I just bought them a few months ago, and the one that I won is a clipping, so I won't be able to do an auction of just Hoya clippings for a while, yet. Sorry. I'll be posting houseplants auctions of some type whenever I have clippings to share, so eventually I'll probably be able to have a Hoya auction : ) Thanks for your interest.

I really want to win this but I don't think I will have the credits by then, I just lost ours during the move. If all my credits are on by then, maybe.....

I never thought of looking for house plants on listia! I used to have a huge collection of plants but during moves I lost them. I will have to keep my eye out for auctions. I love yours, but I don't have room for all your plants, even though I love them! I will have to watch for smaller auctions. Yours is great! Fanned you.

Plants and seeds were the whole reason I started with Listia. My niece had been telling me about it for months, but I told her I was way too busy working and gardening to be looking for things to trade. One day she told me she won some flower seeds, and I said "They have seeds and plants on Listia??!!" I started an account that day, and I've been hooked ever since! Alot of times there will be auctions for single plants and clippings. I occasionally offer just one or two plants, also. It all depends on what I have available at the time. It just so happened this time I have alot : ) If you keep your eye out, there will probably be at least a couple of auctions a week that have single houseplants for you. Good luck! Fanning you back : )

Do all these need to be planted right away or should they be rooted in water?
+1
Jul 23rd, 2011 at 1:03:04 AM PDT by

Most can be rooted in water, but the snake plant is already rooted, and will need to be put in soil. Also, I root my Hoyas and Peperomias in soil, so they should be planted, as well.

Molly is an absolutely wonderful buyer / seller. I highly recommend her and know she will send an amazing and carefully packed product. (I wish I could bid, but my small house and plant destructive cats.....) but don't be worried about what you will recieve - it will be well worth it.
