Plant Propagation

Question about Veronica

21 years ago

I just bought a Veronica plant. On the way home one of the grandkids broke a large part of it off. Can I just stick it in the ground like I would a sedium and have it grow that way? Or do I have to root it in water and get roots, before planting it?

Thanks Halley

The best way (most sure way) is to take cuttings (cut up the broken stem...) of firm new growth. Apply 0.1% rooting hormone stick in well drained soil & mist taking 10-30 days to root.
