question about cutting growth

17 years ago

Hi everyone, I have a question. I received some Frosty Pink cuttings from a gal here last fall. They are doing great! All but one anyway, it does not have any growth on it. No rotting, no drying out, just no growth. I transplanted all cuttings to bigger pots a month ago, and it has really good roots on it. I dug around it yesterday and still good roots, just never any leaves. I tell her she's my "little brug that could", still nothing...

Am I wasting my time and energy on this little one?

LOL Seriously, as I type this I'm thinking if you answer yes, I'm keeping her anyway. LOL

Thanks, Sue

I have one doing exactly the same thing, Sue. I am willing to wait. I don't have an answer for you, though.

My Frosty Pink is always the last one to leaf out. I had one that didn't leaf out until July one year and then it took off. So don't give up hope!

I would think it is still from the shipping shock it went through. Since it is growing new leaves!

I had one that took 6 months to show any leaves. I did the same thing and nearly threw it out until I saw the roots. It grew fine once it got going. Just took forever at first, lol. Once it gets outside it will take off I'm sure.
