CLOSED: Bougainvillea Cuttings - Free

I have 12 Bogie cuttings - 6 Raspberry Ice, and 6 Barbara Karst, all ready to be shipped.

The person who asked me for them didn't leave an address, and is not in he Exchange.

I don't want them to go to waste. If you can use them, let me know, and I'll mail them today or tomorrow.

Steve

Are they easy to root? How much is the postage?
Winnie

Winnie -

I've never rooted them, and I'll take care of the postage. Let me know.

Thank you so much. My addy is in the exchange.
I will try my best to root them.
Winnie

OK, Winnie, they're yours.

I did root 4 of the Barbara Karst, and they seemed easy enough.

I'll get them in the mail just as soon as I can.

Steve

Steve! I'm so glad to see you are alive! How was the storm?

Hi Robin,

Not bad, where I am. Some wind, and a lot of rain. It actually helped my plants - bulbs are breaking through, and all of the plants look great.

Thanks for asking.

I'm afraid that folks to the south didn't make out so well. There's a lot of damage, and a lot of people still don't have electricity.

It's been cold here - lower 50s at night, and 60s during the day. I don't think that these temps had anything to do with the hurricane. It's supposed to get back into the 80s this weekend - thank God. We're freezing.

How are things in NC?

Steve

Steve,
Your cuttings arrived today.
Wanted to say thanks again for being so generous. Now to try my hand at rooting them.
Winnie

do you have any more cuttings? I have a plant, but have never taken cuttings. Do they root in water? Mine didn't bloom this year. Do they need fertlizer. I have to bring mine inside for the winter.
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

I propagated some of the Barbara Karst cuttings in a mixture of 3 parts sphagnum peat moss to 1 part vermiculite, and they did very well.

Are you asking me for cuttings? I traded the Raspberry Ice, but I could check the Barbara Karst, and see if there are any good cuttings left on that.
