Just saying hi!

[Geoffyg]

Good afternoon all
The webpage told me to introduce myself, so I am doing so.
I used to go to the canary islands on holiday a lot, whilst there we always picked up these tree stumps covered in wax, you would scrape the wax off the bottom and pop them in water, they would grow leaves from the outside of the stump, an indoor plant.
I dont know what they were called or where I could find them, or potentially a larger version for inside my home, they require very little looking after
If anyone could shed light, I'd be grateful
Thanks

Good evening everyone
The plant is called a dracaena massangeana
I've searched high n low for the wax covered stumps with no joy.
You can buy the trees in a manner of different sizes in most places
If anyone knows where I can get the stumps, please let me know

There are 3 ways to propagate this plant. I will add a link for you which might help https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/dracaena/how-is-dracaena-propagated.htm

I think you might have to buy your stock plant to get started ......hope the link worked

Apart from cuttings, you can buy seeds too!

Thank you so much
I've got myself a little lockdown project
