well... un update on this rooting method... still by far the easiest and fastest way here in the summer... I took a cutting and water rooted it till it had the start of roots... a moment or so after the bumps changed to roots.. I planted it in some soil... it's still languishing.. alive but awaiting enough roots to get going.. ones thatwere put into a shallow container... fresh ffrom breaking them off.. have rooted and didn't loose a leaf.. and are growing well... this is the remainers [ not already given away ] of the Peach Parfait..[ Maya ] I made couuting of in the first part of this post...
The other plant in this container of rooting.. is Emerald Frost... it was started after ... and has far surpassed the Maya growth..
elizabeth,,, from the other thread.. you mentioned Emerald frost was growing well there... it is truely one of the strongest growers I've run across...surely a canadate for use in any breeding program..
