This is a cutting that the top kept turning yellow and softening.....so I kept cutting the rotting top off. Finally there was nothing left to cut off. But being forever hopeful, I usually leave the dead cutting for at least 2 weeks after it has died.........for you never know!! And look........I ventured out today and found this lone itty bitty leaf rising from the dead!
way to go ms kell. and i can't believe you have a 7 foot P&C! that is amazing.
Hi Arlene................ if you think it has better genes then the P & C that seems to have given it a bad name elsewhere.......... I sure have a nice big cutting with you name on it!
That is great Kell. I have a couple I am hoping will do the same thing.
Lucky you. LOL.
What IS that one that you wanted so desperately!! Green thumb! Way to go....
Kell . . that sure is an itty bitty piece. I believe sometimes if we would just leave them alone as you did that they sometimes do better. This is something that I have not learned very well yet and I know that I have lost some due to too much attention. When the soil is completely dry I think it needs water . . . when in fact, sometimes they don't. This one must have been important and I am so glad that it is going to make it.
Yes, what is it and does it live in the 3 days of frost a year greenhouse?
Kell, is this one still alive? What is the cutting from? It must be a tough little fella.
Is it one of those PRIZE Frosty's?
Usually, I water mine too much. I just won't learn, after all Glory's hard work trying to teach me!
LOL CC....no a fancy pink for a change........ an EP!
It is very true, do not water cuttings!!!! I put in wet soil and do not water again for ages!! I may lightly mist the leaves but do not wet the soil.
Yes Brugie, still alive!
Roz, I know exactly what you are talking about. I get so worried that maybe they are too dry but I am getting better at neglect!
Kell, I've had trouble getting EP to root for me this year. Hopefully I'll have at least one that will make it. I have more trouble with watering seeds Frannie. The top looks dry so I usually mist, but sometimes I think I might mist a little too heavy. I've had a couple of containers of seeds that haven't shot up one little seedling yet. I did find that when I started peeling the seeds, way over half of them were empty. What a disappointment.
