Plant Propagation

new at this...

20 years ago

Forgive me if I sound really clueless, but can I root a ruscus stem that was bought with cut flowers? I've never seen them for sale in my area nurseries and I'd love to grow some indoors or out. What I've read is that they like shade (got that) and are normally propagated by division or seeds. I'm not sure if it's a woody plant, but it is an evergreen I think. Thanks, MsB

Sorry this one doesn't root from the stem and it is a bi--h by division for such a valuable plant. My plant needs a mate for fruits.

Too bad. Thanks for your reply. I guess it doesn't bode well for me that the only reply regarding this plant comes from zone 8/9 and I'm up here in zone 6. It has me wondering though... how is a plant that prefers shade available in Az and not NJ? MsB
