I am trying to root a cutting from my pink Polka Dot plant as well!

How did your work out? This is my first time trying this and I am a little worried because I put the cutting in a jar this morning and already the leaves are wilting. I have had 3 leaves fall off at the base of the plant. Do you think there is anyway those 3 leaves could possibly root?

If so, would u use root hormone? I broke one leaf in half and they are still green and firm. Thanks for any help!!! Hi blogger, i must say you have very interesting posts here. Your blog should go viral. You need initial traffic only. How to get it?

Can I just plant it in soil? It has been my experience when cutting starts with no nodes that if you find a joint on the limb cut below the joint a bit and stick it into water so the joint is IN the water. First take off any leaves that might end up in the water that are close to the joint, as they will just rot anyway.

My mom used to call this joint a Y and it always rooted for me. Good luck. I want to root some cuttings from a bush as well. I supposed l need to study he stems to see where l could cut it..

Rooting hormone is used in its concentrated form on the cut surface of the cuttings. If you just dilute it into the water, it will lose its potency and effectiveness.

I recently cut a long tendril from my philodendron and proceeded to root about 4 or 5 cuttings in water. I think a couple of he stems were turned upside down in transporting them and they rooted fine. As they grow they seem to be producing weird little bunches of leaves. My question is can they be rooted upside down? Will the plant adapt? Or am i just a crazy plant lady? RHS members get reduced ticket prices Join now. Harlow Carr North Yorkshire. Hyde Hall Essex.
