Luke* Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 mmmm sounds cool. i like red varieties they seem to be rarer like red tiger lotus. suppose it's cuz it's harder to grow/needs more light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetu Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Crikey! You'd expect them to be trimming it all the time. They probably just throw the bits out - I think I feel a dumpster-diving session coming on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 When plants become scarce, particularly red ones, it is because they are not easy to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zabman Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 They won't sell it to me either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll start to think we're talking about them :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zabman Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Maybe we should organise a mass calling and asking of Cabomba. They will get so sick of us all calling they'll decide to sell some cuttings just to shut us up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whetu Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Maybe we should organise a mass calling and asking of Cabomba. They will get so sick of us all calling they'll decide to sell some cuttings just to shut us up! It would be excellent publicity for the shop. They could have a two-day event where they sell 2cm cuttings for $2 each for every $20 spent in the shop. Then they could have a cobomba-growing contest where you bring your cutting back in two months and there's a prize for the longest cutting, one for the most new branchlets, and one for the brightest colour. Of course I would win because I would set up a special tank that was only 5cm deep and had 500 watts of lighting. I would supplement with special ferts and beetroot juice. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
