Hopefully post will work

Angle trumpet planted

I put the angle trumpet cutting into soil on sunday 24th April. I am hoping this time around it will grow. I havent added any rooting hormone or fertalizer at the moment. I am thinking of adding some root and bloom that I have thats like miricle grow.

Angle trumpet progress

It has started to get a few white spots on it and there is one little white shoot coming off into the water. But I am going to wait a little longer before planting it into the soil.

Azalea from cutting.

This one I did the same as the Gardenia.
Trimmed off about 4 inches of semi hard wood.
Trimmed off the lower leaves, and dipped it into a rooting hormone.
Then into some soil and a bit of water.

I have read that azaleas are easy to do. So I will see. I don't like the way mine has wilted already. It might just be the humidity. I'll keep my eye on it and might have to take a better cutting next time.

Gardenia From Cuttings

Today I did 2 cuttings, one of them being a gardenia.
I cut off about 4 inches long of semi hard wood. (some new - some hard)
I then trimmed off the lower leaves about half way up.
Next I dipped the bottom into some rooting hormone and then placed into a hole in the soil and pushed down the soil around the branch.
Finally a little water, and now we wait and see if it takes.

Ready to Wait...

This is what I have to look at now for the next few weeks and see if the little plantlets grow.....

I have moved them inside so they are out of the sun and away from the rain.

I have watered them once, and will only mist the soil when it starts looking dry.

Jade Cutting

I am going to do a jade cutting from just the leave. You can do them from a stem, but I have read that it is harder to do. So I have chosen to do the leave. (Even though it takes longer)

1. So cut off a few healthy looking leaves and let them dry a few days.... the cut ends will heal over.

2. Then lay them in a pot with half vermiculite or perlite and half potting soil. Keep the pot in the shade. (Do not bury them as they will rot) 3. Water once after you lay the leaves down, then sparingly till you start to see roots. ( A few days to a few weeks, or so I have read) 4. Then after it has taken root, it will start growing little plantlets around the edges. ( I have read it can take 2 weeks to 2 months for these to appear. So we shall see. 5. After these appear, move the plant to indirect sunlight, and for here it should continue to grow. Only move it into a bigger pot once it has outgrown this one.
