I have just finished the third heavy drench of mort aux fungus gnats. Good thing, too, because I'm just about out of bacteria. I will have to order more to continue my planned maintenance program.

I think the nopalxochia cutting has completely died. I don't see any green. That will teach me to get impatient and excavate developing roots. If I find another cutting next year I will cultivate zen-like patience. I am scrupulously leaving the sansevieria cutting alone, although I will say its roots are sturdy enough that I can pick up the whole pot by the cutting.

All eight of my H. 'papilio x emerald' seedings have put up second leaves, so I will feed them this week. Last year's H. 'papilio x chico' all look good, with four leaves each. Some of my H. 'Trader Joe x Gervase' seedlings have six leaves. No sign of virus on any of the leaves of H. 'supermarket,' which makes me happy, as I discarded both parents last week. There are some odd markings on some of my H. 'Trader Joe' selfs, but they don't show the mosaic pattern and I'm keeping them quarantined in the sitting room.

New growth on the Christmas 'papilio' and both of its pups. The new 'papilios' are dying back very slowly.

I've picked out a curly willow branch that I'll root for [livejournal.com profile] halfmoon_mollie and will have to look for a mailing tube when the time comes.

It's a beautiful, clear, cool day today. I have yet to turn on the air conditioner in my office, and am beginning to believe I will make it through June.
