I don't see why not. I don't have the best luck with green stems but if you are going to do it this is the best time of year to try. The rain will be starting here soon. We're supposed to get bad storms with heavy rains. So what else is new. We've been getting T-storms with heavy rain almost daily for the past month, maybe longer!!!

Lol Karyn! We have to get rid of that cloud following you...hahahha What about frost for your area??....Darn it Shawn and I are forcasted for it... I am gonna try some green cuttings I dislike cutting them if it wont work..I will try on one of them... Fun experiment...:) Happy Friday!

I think if I were going to try a green cutting I would do soil and rooting hormone, not water. IMHO , Edna

Thanks Edna! :) I will do that... Happy friday to you! You send awesome plants by the way! :)))

Barb any reason why you are cutting them green and not waiting till they are a little woody? Usually it goes real fast on mine.

good luck

Lucy

Hi lucy! Yes to see if I can do it... With such a short growing season in WI..It would help so much..:)))

I received 2 green cuttings a couple of months ago on a trade and they rooted in water. Seemed a little slower than woody cuttings but they are growing leaves now. The cuttings I purchased were more woody and have bigger leaves than the green cuttings. I can't remember if the person said they were white or peach. I did notice that each version took different times to root. A couple rotted, a frosty pink and a noid white. :( They were both woody cuttings. I also received 2 green cuttings of a orange for postage. They are also slower producing leaves. The man that I purchased the woody cuttings from said he has better luck and is faster rooting in pots instead of water. I don't know as I am new experimenting with Brugs. I did read that it is a shock to Brug cuttings when potting in soil after rooting in water. Said to keep soil really moist after potting them up for a while so they can adjust. I hope what few cuttings I have make it, I really think these are beautiful plants.

Good Luck!

gardenmasterjo...Recking my brain for your name. I know I have seen it already. sorry it is not waking up yet.

As for me I have no luck with water rooting. I have best of luck in warmer weather. Stick hormone rooting powder on the bottom...put them in a little pot. Water till soil is wet and lower them in the ground in a shady area. Worked every time last year

I've found green cuttings root fine in a cloner. I haven't tried water or soil yet. I do let them "dry" for about a half hour before sticking them. Gives the cut a little time to heal over. Same sort of thing you do for geraniums.

I agree with Edna.

This is the time of year to take green cuttings, til thru July or August, and have most of them root.

I usually just stick the side shoots or basal shoots I'm thinning out off my mommy plant right back into the pot she(mommy) is growing in or if she is planted in the ground, I stick any cuttings near the parent plant, and then I water and ignore. They root really fast.

The main thing about rooting green cuttings is to take the cuttings or trimmings off when the brug is actively growing. All my cuttings for Fall Trade this year are rooting right now or in the next month or two. I sometimes pot up the rooted cuttings in quart or gallon pots, and stick the pot right inside the bigger pot mom is growing in- that saves on space and I water all the pots at the same time, saving on time

LOL! Boy, did I go on! Good luck with whatever works for you.

Hey Lucy,

My name is Tammy. I think I read about your rooting process on another post when I was having problem rooting the Flamenco. I remember you saying to put the pot in the ground. I could not put them outside at the time it was still too cold here.

yeah *Tammy* glad you remembered. Your name came back to me too lol

I guess I will follow Brenda's Advice and take some cuttings from Flamenco and Daybreak. Those 2 are big enough.

Lucy

Thank you Brenda I plan on starting some this coming week...

Token I love your cloning machine..:) Thanks Everybody...
