OK! This 10" HB was filled with 4" tip-cuttings from the one in the previous post this Spring. Right into the soil!
Secret-------sssh!...THREE cuttings in EACH finger hole when you start a new pot....

6" pot---5 finger holes
8" pot---7 finger-holes
10" pot--11-12 finger-holes.

The 3 cuttings per hole giver you an amazingly full basket....They ALL root! Don't sweat it!!!!
When they gain enough length--pinch all the ends off again--and start another HB.....or just a pot.

She's a beauty all right! And it is only one of the 2 HB I started from the tip-cuttings. gave the other one to a friend....
Ready for more at he next Plant Swap?????? I sure will have them!
