My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
Has anyone had any success propagating any species of Passiflora at this time of the year(summer)? I have tried every trick in the book without much luck. Primarily, I made cuttings before daylight, kept the cuttings moist and protected from light, used Hormodin (0.03% IBA), and placed the cuttings in 1/1 Vermiculite/ Promix under a mist system.Any suggestions will be most welcome.
I don't know what kind of mist system you use, but if you have a timer style system make sure that your cuttings don't get too wet, or you'll lose several if not all the cuttings. A pre soak in fungicide, or using a electronic leaf style system works best to regulate water on the leaves. Also you can try oasis root cubes to cut down on watering while still maintaining proper moisture. Hope this helps.
Our recent experiment has done very well. We took cuttings about two months ago and almost all of them rooted doing the following..
2 qt pots filled with a pro-mix soil almost all the way to the bottom of the rim and soaked in well. We used a pencil to poke for holes in the soil in the center of the pot evenly spaced. We prepared the same amount of 2 liters with the tops cut off as pots we were using.
Then took cuttings late afternoon and trimmed all but the top leaf off and on the one left we trimmed it back in size. On lengh we left them long enough that 2 nodes were under the soil. Stuck them directly with no rooting hormone or special treatment, covered wit hthe 2 liters and waited. These are kept in shade Under a tarp and have rooted and are putting off new growth in the two months. I am removing the 2 liters today and placing them under shade cloth for another week or so before moving them into the sun..
yours sounds kinda good lady, :') i did mine in baggies, in fact i do all mine this way, i kinda got the idea from george, fill the bag 1/3 way with stay green soil, (moist) poke holes for the plant, take the leaves off of the bottom 1/2, dip in rooting horomone, put the plant in the holes, push the dirt around the plant, mist with water. zip it 3/4 of the way shut, blow with your air shut. til it looks like a fat pillow. then zip it all the way shut. now put it in filtered sun. mine rooted in 2=3 weeks. you can see the roots. works great. sometimes 4 weeks. ~Medo
