Just did some rare to me winter propagation. When I did my Winnipeg plant shopping trip last April I was very happy to find 2 plants that were on my \"must have\" list. Senecio Angel Wings in photo #1 and Euphorbia Ascot Rainbow in # 2. From experience I have found that a lot of these plants that I get excited about don\'t excite a lot of other people because they don\'t know how to use them. So when they don\'t sell well of course the greenhouses don\'t bring them in again. So when I was taking cuttings in the fall I hacked the 2 pots that they were in apart and made one pot out of 2 and have been nursing it in the living room up to now. I also saved a big chunk of oxalis that was in the same pot as the Euphorbia. They are really easy to find in the spring but I grow a lot and they are really easy to take cuttings from so why not save a bit of money.
At the same time as I did all that I experimented at taking a cutting of the Senecio along with all the other succulents. That cutting is photo #4. It is not thriving but is still alive and hopefully will perk up when I can get it in the greenhouse. Last week I noticed that the original Senecio was looking really ill so I took 2 more cuttings from the healthiest tips. Yesterday I took cuttings from the Euphorbia and oxalis. Photo 5 is all the new cuttings ready to spend the next 2 weeks under a humidome. If the mission is successful I will then discard the pot I have been overwintering. Meanwhile the dying Senecio has to be chopped now.
