Never enough plants!

7 years ago

My husband thinks it's an addiction. I'm rooting rosemary, periwinkle, purple heart, blue spruce sedum, mint, coleus and creeping Jenny in water. Wish me luck. I'm sure not all will root for me. Hoping to take any successes down the the cabin. Makes for a nice view in my kitchen window. Best of all they are FREE!

Aremisia 'powis castle' roots in water very easily. When I've combined it with flowers in a vase it's already rooted by the time I change the water which is every couple of days.

Well, I wouldn't call it an addiction. I'd say we have a special fondness for plants ,,, :-)

Yes, it is nice when we can propagate our own! Your window sill looks yummy.

Going to try to propagate some Artemisia "Powis Castle" this fall as well, but direct in dirt with rooting hormone.

Roselee, were your successful rootings soft stem or hardwood stem?

Addiction? Nay....economical! ;) At least your rooting containers are pretty: mine are all pickle jars with half of the labels still clinging for dear life. Good luck!

"A special fondness for plants." Is that a euphemism for the predilection of a fanatic gardener? We're always branching out, wanting to add new plants, trying our hand at techniques such as propagation. Regardless of the outcome, these endeavors keep the mind active. I've been gardening nonstop for 30 years. This year I planted cantaloupe for the first time, harvested the first melon yesterday. How sweet it is!
