I bought a Caricature plant that I tried so hard to grow. It was about half dead when I bought it hoping that maybe I could save it. Well, it just got worse and worse. However, I started taking cuttings and putting them in water. They all rooted and then I put them in soil. Here are a few of them that have a nice set of roots and are growing fine. By spring I will have so many of them that I am thinking about setting up a table in my front yard and selling them. I still have the receipt for this plant and can still take it back and get my money back if I choose to. The cuttings that I took were not from any of the main stems, only the pieces of the plant that had completely fallen over and looked dead. It is amazing what you can do to a dead looking piece of plant. Here are the ones that have rooted and are growing nicely in a pot. When you take cuttings like this to save for next spring, what do you put them in? Nursery pots, styrofoam cups, ect.?
