Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday! I was in San Jose all day and when we got home last night at 7:30, I forgot about ith: I went to bed last night at 11:00, and never really got to sleep. At 12:30, I remembered it. I got it out of the box, it looks good and put it in my DT tank to float. At 1:30, I put it in the tank. I started teh experiment at 5:30 evening on Saturday, so, in reality it went for 54 hours. I took pics last night, and I will later this morning. Everything looks good! I am shocked. Although it does not look all that excited, it doesn't look bad:bluenod: I have to go out until about 12:00 today, and when I get back, I will post all the pics - and probably get anyone elsses order who wants one. I think I only have 2 right now, but I will have more in a couple of weeks.

Well, I am waiting for a phone call, so I thought I would post the pictures. The first is in the bag just after I took it out. The other is last night at 1:30, and the last one is at 6:15 this morning. No, I did not get any sleep last night. lol

 

[Techno-Vicki]

ok, the middle one is this mornings, its that no sleep thing getting to me.

Great work Vicki! I think 2-day is VERY doable for this one. I know some of the Xenia I have were shipped to me "USPS" priority (2-3day) and it pouted but opened up and then took off to the races multiplying pretty soon.

Keep me posted. I'll do whatever is needed

 

[Techno-Vicki]

i mean the middle one is this morning at 6:15 and the last one is at 1:30, no sleep. lol can't even type straight this morning.

 

[Techno-Vicki]

You lucky dog Allen, you get off cheap! Go for it, send 2 day USPS to me.

 

[BigAl07]

Sounds like a plan to me. Just to "play it safe" let's plan on me getting them TO the shipper Monday. It's Tuesday now and I don't have them "aired" or even bagged. This gives more of a "whoops" cushion on time if I ship Monday for a Wednesday delivery.

I'm STOKED About this!!

 

[Techno-Vicki]

Very good! Thanks Allen

WooHoo!!! Just tracked my shipment, Vicki, and it is "On FedEx vehicle for delivery". Should be here before noon. Thank you!!!

 

[Techno-Vicki]

Dick, you are sooooooooo welcome!!! I sent you a little present Too bad we didn't wait until I finished my little experiment. We could have saved you some money.

 

[Amphibious]

They have arrived and are on a slow drip. Has anyone ever noticed how poorly Xenia look when first arriving? One bunch is standing erect and looks better than the others. All this is normal of course. Packaging was great. Got a surprise, too. Thanks Vicki.

I'll post pics after they recover.

LOL, I was typing while you were posting. I'm not sure I'd do anything but overnight.

Thanks for the note, I agree with what you said, 100%!

Dick

 

[Techno-Vicki]

You are so welcome! Here is something else. Place the xenia directly against the glass. They will attach and then sprout off shoots. That seems to be the best way to propagate. They don't grow as fast otherwise.

 

[Amphibious]

Thanks, I'll try that. About to take them off dripping (been two hours, water volume has increased about 8x).

[Amphibious]

OK, they are in the tank and not looking too bad. The Clove Polyps are beginning to show themselves. I'm so happy I could just...
