Top 10 Easiest to Grow from Cuttings

Thanks clyoung1, I will try some tomorrow. I have had no luck with mexican petunia either way, but I will try it again.

Does anybody know if it's possible to root tricyrtus in water?

LOL, been a long time on this thread. I have a couple petunias that I would like to have plants off of next summer. What and how is the best way to do that. I am thinking cuttings. Thought I would try both cuttings and holding the mother plant over. I have found with Coleus etc. that the new plant from cuttings is usually better than the mother plant the next year.

Can anyone give me some advice on this? Thanks

Jnette- Several years ago in the fall, with the first frost scheduled to arrive that night, I made a little bouquet of the last flowers in my garden. I put it in a glass of water in a south facing window. This included "Tidal Wave' Petunia, maybe 8-10" long, with a bloom or two. The petunia took root in the water. Months later I potted it up, and planted it outside in a pot the next spring, and had a huge blooming shrub Petunia that year! I think I broke the law if it was a Patented new variety.
Good luck!

LOL, shame on you Mlm. ok, I will try it. Good idea. I sent for these 'cause we can only get them from Parks etc. as plants. No seeds. Maybe we will be looking thru the bars together. And not the whiskey bars.

Great Topic with lots of good info...thank you for posting! This newbie will take all info in and process!

Well, hello Valal. Welcome to our world. Lots to learn on this site. You could spend the rest of your life on here and never read it all. That is if you tried >grin

I have found this SOOOOO true, Jnette!
Thanks for the welcome!

Well Mim, We have had 30 degrees the last 2 nights, and so far nothing appears to be hurt by them. Even the tuberous begonia. Amazing. But the temps are going up again and should be like this for another month if it is the normal here. So, I am not going to push my luck tho, will go out and take cuttings of a lot of stuff I would like to have for next year. Thanks so much for the push.

But,with winter coming on, I suppose I need to have a couple of pots ready to go huh? Jen

Would anyone mind if I started a new thread? This is getting really long. OR, if someone else wants to start one I would love that. Jen

This was started a long time ago and think it is really worth saving.

I was thinking the same thing jnette!

Please do......
Can you add the linkto this thread for reference. LOTS of great info!

Yes Val, it has been a while since I have done this so please be patient with me. Jen You know, better than me trying it on here and getting my frustration level up this early in the morning, I am going to get someone else to do it. jen

Same thread , just shorter

Aw, come on Jen. You can do it. You have spent as much time on here as anyone. If you REALLY can't, I will do it for you, when I get the time.

Neve rmind Evelyn. Right now I am too tired and too busy to think about it. Yes, I am sure I could do it, but not for a bit.

I wonder if anybody has tried their luck rooting "Rozanne" hardy geranium and how do I do it?

Pippi21 we started a #2 of this thread because this was so long it was taking forever to for the computers to respond. Go to the next one and they will answer I am sure. Such good info on here that we hated to let it go. Jeanette
