this website and bring up relevant articles. __________________________________________________________________________ September 2009 I have a Dracaena Marginata approx. 5' in height that my kitten climbed and broke in half! Grrr I tried to re-root the part that broke off and failed, and now the remainder has grown approx. 6" of new limb at the top where it was broken, with leaves with another growing on the other side of the trunk. Do I leave them? Can I cut them off and replant with the parent plant? If so, how do I do this? The second shoot is only about 1" yet - still an infant! So, I don't think it is ready, but the 6" I think is. It is healthy but I fear as it grows its' weight will pull the parent over and break the trunk. Also - I'd like to fill in below where the trunk is so bare. I think the kitten, now adult, is over its' curiosity of that plant. Your advice will be appreciated. Thank you. Read more Hi Gwen. I am a budding orchid enthusiast in the Philippines. I am migrating to in the US, specifically in Daly City. Do you think I can grow orchids there? I am concerned because the climate in the US is different from the Philippines. I need to know which kind of orchids grow there. Please help me. Thanks. Read more May 2009

Dear Gwen - HOPE spring will soon come in SK.-- I am sure you agree! Gwen, our United Church is printing a 50th Ann. Cookbook and I am busy with it right now.

I am not sure of the species but it appears to be a non-climber. There was about 3 inches (7.5 cm) of space around the sides (which I filled in with potting soil), but the roots are sticking out a little on top. Will that be okay? Will it settle into the pot?
