I know. Its hard to get any suitable plants this time of year in MI. I have been to literally 20 stores trying to find another schefflera.

Well thank you! The only pothos i seen was 60 bucks but it was really cool, it was wrapped on 3 ft tall U shaped truss.Im going back out shortly to a couple other stores.

Good idea, but by the time that seed grew a plant of any decent size i would be able to find one. Found another scheflerra yesterday, had to go 20 miles to find one lol. Should have it in sometime after work today. Pics to follow

You can alway cut a few branches place them in cup of water, in a week or so have a bunch of new ones ready to grow. Place them in small cup with dirt. I do this sometimes when I know I don't feel like buying new ones. You can buy better plants in MI for $90 thats highway robbery.


Usually do this when I buy a bunch of big ones. Home depot seems to always have them but only tiny ones right now for like 5 bucks , which are basically the size of what I can grow them in a month.

Do you use rooting hormone? Or just pop'm in the water

Okay so i pulled the small money tree and planted the other schefflera i bought in the viv, MUCH MUCH more cover for him. Almost seems crowded, but i know its not he has wandered the whole thing a few times since i put it in. In and out of spots I never thought he would go through lol. What do you think?

 

[K9Luvn]

Looks real nice!! You have certainly put alot of work into his home

 

[coldbloodedAL]

Thank you! I spent weeks making sure everything was exactly right before introducing him to it. At first I didnt really think it lacked enough foilage til someone (Chammomilecame) mentioned it, so I went to the room and sat there for about 20 minutes looking at it and came to agreement. lol.

I conned Rango out of his cage with a hornworm And He showed some really bright colors i have never seen before!

 

[coldbloodedAL]

And.. A new viv I just set up for Rangos future wifey.. And first look at the reptile room, only did the paint and installed gfci outlets. Ive been kinda lazy on getting the tile in Oh and SS, dont worry Ill still pimp rango on loan for you when Stella is better

 

[coldbloodedAL]

The females cage is not finished just yet, waiting on the rest of the stuff to come this week. But feel free to critique..

Sounds good, I wont tell her about the "other woman"
She has already shown huge improvement! She is much more "aware" and attentive, and actually started shedding!

Looks good! Just pack a bunch of vines and limbs in there.
Ive learned that Stella seems to like the "crowded" areas of her cage best. I think it makes her feel safer. I try to keep it packed around the sides, and back, and leave a little "clearing" for her in the middle. She uses the packed areas to move around, and will sit in branches looking into her open area. It seems to work for us anyhow
