Some suggestions on controlling poison ivy, oak and sumac plants
If you're lucky you may be able to fully remove the plants - I've only been able to get them under control
But the plant often forms upright bushes if it has no support to climb upon
The tissues of all these plants contain a poisonous oil somewhat like carbolic acid
It may be brushed onto the clothing or skin of people coming in contact with the plants
Control and treatment: Efforts have been made to destroy these plants by uprooting them or by spraying them with chemicals
Contact with the plants should be avoided
About This Site This web site is dedicated to those individuals that have ever experienced and suffered through the itching and painful rashes associated with contact of an oil called urushiol (you-ROO-shee-ol) from these plants

Questions about poison ivy, oak, and sumac poisoning, identification, home and
commercial remedies.
The sap is released when the plant is bruised, making it easier to contract Rhus-dermatitis in the spring and early summer when leaves are tender
The sap may be deposited on the skin by direct contact with the plant or by contact with contaminated objects, such as shoes, clothing, tools and animals
Severe cases have occurred from sap-coated soot in the smoke of burning plants
Because urushiol is inside the plant, brushing against an intact plant will not cause a reaction
But undamaged plants are rare because 'Poison oak, ivy and sumac are very fragile plants, ' says William L
Can I spread it by Scratching? 'Rhus plants(poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac) are the most common cause of allergic contact dermatitis in the US
How do I identify the plants? The compound leaves of poison ivy consist of three pointed leaflets; the middle leaflet has a much longer stalk than the two side ones
Identification of the plant including its variations can be difficult
The first picture collection below shows a sampling of poison ivy plants with various leaf shapes
Do other plants have urushiol? Yes, as a matter of fact, a number of the members of the Sumac family contain urushiol
Wilderness Survival: Survival use of Plants - Edibility of Plants
Describes the identification and preparation of flora for consumption. Includes
diagrams, the Universal Edibility Test, and lists of edible varieties.
Training Network: | + Wilderness Survival + Survival Reference EDIBILITY OF PLANTS Plants are valuable sources of food because they are widely available, easily procured, and, in the proper combinations, can meet all your nutritional needs
WARNING The critical factor in using plants for food is to avoid accidental poisoning
Eat only those plants you can positively identify and you know are safe to eat
Absolutely identify plants before using them as food
In this instance you may not have had the chance to learn the plant life of the region in which you must survive
In this case you can use the to determine which plants you can eat and those to avoid
It is important to be able to recognize both cultivated and wild edible plants in a survival situation
Most of the information in this chapter is directed towards identifying wild plants because information relating to cultivated plants is more readily available
Remember the following when collecting wild plants for food: Plants growing near homes and occupied buildings or along roadsides may have been sprayed with pesticides
In more highly developed countries with many automobiles, avoid roadside plants, if possible, due to contamination from exhaust emissions

Peperomia House Plant Cuttings
Offers a step-by-step guide to propagating variegated varieties of peperomia
using stem cuttings. Includes photographs.
gardenhive.com Peperomia House Plant Cuttings Peperomia variety Glabellar Their creamy-coloured flower spikes are easily the most distinguishable feature of peperomias, grown as house plants
These spikes have a texture that resembles catkins but they rise like tentacles above the plant's leaves
If the plant is propagated by leaf cuttings it will not came true with its correct variegations and will revert to its non-variegated form
The stem cuttings should comprise a shoot or top section of stem showing a clear example of the plant's variegation (picture 1)
A shoot with leaves showing good variegation will enable the new plant to inherit the same colour and chraracteristics as those of its parent
Remove each cutting from just above a leaf joint on the plant itself, making a clean cut to avoid wounding the parent plant unnecessarily
When the plants are showing signs of new shoots pot them up individually into 87mm (3½ in.) pots of John Innes Potting Compost No.1
As peperomias do not make a lot of root growth those plants already in separate 87mm (3½ in.) pots should stay there until showing clear signs of outgrowing the pot
