how to plant a new Tibouchina?

16 years ago

Hello, I am semi-new to gardening, but it will be the first time I am trying to use an existing tree to try and reproduce it in my garden.

A friend has a stunning Tibouchina in his garden which I would like to "reproduce" at home. Tibouchina cannot be found here commercially ; what would I need to do to "cut off" a branch/flower/pod? of his tree and successfully replant it? What time of year / state of the tree should this be done in ?

What kind of exposure does this plant need (full sun, half sun etc)? and water?

I would greatly appreciate your advice as I fell in love with this gorgeous tree.

Thank you,

Nihal
