Hi Kathy--

Assuming we're talking about the same plant (Bleeding Heart Vine, Glory Bower, Clerodendrum thomsoniae), I've had terrific results just sticking cuttings into water. My Bleeding Heart Vine lives on a sunny balcony in summer and a southwest room in winter. Both places it grows and blooms like mad, so I'm constantly having to prune it. I hate to throw away the trimmings and once plopped a handful of stems into a vase simply to delay trashing them. Within a week the "arrangement" began to root, and even bloomed a month or so later despite my neglecting to pot it up. We do have reverse osmosis water, but I don't think that's an imperative for rooting. Rootone's usually a good idea, but hasn't proved essential for me either.

This thing's gorgeous, so best of luck to you however you proceed!
