Title: Big *ss Plant
Post by: Greg on June 13, 2011, 06:32:20 PM: Free
Big Ass Plant (indoor).
I've had this plant for 13 years and it's time for it to find a new home. I'd post it on Craigslist, but the recipient would have to come to my house to pick it up, and well .... need I say more?

Free
Impossible to kill
4' tall x 3' wide
You can see that it's prone to turn towards the light, but if you placed it in a room with a lot of sun, it would only take a matter of a few weeks and it would "round" itself out.

PM me for details
Near Lake Nokomis in the urban core.

They are very tough plants and tolerant of poor soil, poor light, etc. Years ago I used them in research addressing the effects of certain types of radiation.

They will flower if given lots of light.

Is it just me, or is this guy a plethora of information on just about anything???!

back on topic; I too have one of these plants and I think mine is almost 3 times as big as the one pictured! I have had it outside during the summer and it does well, but it does need to come back inside once the temps start to drop.

I hope good info. :)

I like learning about anything I can. This group is great as there are all sorts of different types here; lunches are as good as the rides.

Now I enjoy talking and all those I ride with as much as the next guy, but this I have to say is a close race...lol--no offense to anyone-just the bar has been set very high with the quality of the rides.

But I learned at lunch that if you are a rabbit you want to avoid visiting Lloyd at home.
