And the last one - and winner by a long shot - is a pink from Gordon H that I placed in Orchid Moss, thanks to the info provided by Nadine. This one had roots that held the whole cup of moss together all the way up the stem. Works for me!!!

Moodene you have my deepest condolences for Daisymae :(
Mine started rooting between 3-5 days depending on the outside weather. I don't root stuff in my house..plant belong outside if they gonna live outside..lol..mine is in the greenhouse...I am going to start my cuttings soon as they get here from Edna and show pics as I go along..I am not sure if anybody on here is still doing the orchid moss rooting...
Thank you, And everybody in my family still misses Daisymae...
There's a lady who lives in a lot behind the courthouse. She had brugs every year. when I started growing them, I asked her some questions. She said she just rooted them in water ALL WINTER LONG and then just planted them outside. Since I have decided that I probably can't afford to heat my greenhouse all winter, I thought I'd root them in water in the house and then plant them in pots around March 15 and let them grow out until the last frost date, around May 10. Does this sound possible? It looks like they would rot if I tried to keep them in water all winter. But she swore she did.
I have a question........What is H2o2? Thank you.
Hydrogen peroxide.
I'll try again. If I use the orchid moss and leave them in the water until spring, will they survive or rot?
Has anyone ever tried to get cuttings of Daylilies to grow or anyone ever tried Bap 10 to grow daylilies. I know orchid growers use Bap 10 & they will cut a slice on the stem & new groth will apear.
woodspirit1- I am not sure since I only root in the spring time..
Bap10 is totally new info for me and will probably provide me with a few hours of entertaining research to explore a new (to me) aspect of gardening. Thanks, Roseman2, for mentioning it!
