What sign should it be in when you are taking cuttings to root?
Charleen
you can take the cuttings and plant them the same days you can plant anything.
So, if it is a blooming one I cut it in bloom
time, if root crop I plant in root crop time?
To plant flowers I do it at that time.
I thought about doing it during To encourage growth time.
