Ex husband is a horticulture major...you have to remove the cutting near a branching-off area, it's either right above you cut or right below (sorry!) I have to check into that again, but one year I grew so many plants this way, very inexpensive. Ivy works great, Geranium works really easily...but some plants, like Geranium, you can actually grow by taking several clippings and binding them together, the close contact of the cuttings in the soil somehow forces rooting. Hormone is easier though, and more reliable. I do think most manufacturers tell how to cut the plant. As far as what will grow, I thought it was a lot of fun just trying and watching. You do have to plant in good soil immediately after the cut, though, even with hormone. Great luck to you! Try the geraniums...when I moved out of a rental property, I couldn't arrange to take the plants that had sentimental value, the geraniums and several others live on in the new place because that little cutting survived! Not expensive, try a home and garden center. Even Target or Walmart. Take care! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Rooting Plant Cuttings Post By jean (Guest Post) (08/24/2005) Thank you Cookie!!!

I have found it at WalMart and some nurserys. There is also a great website http://www.freeplants.com It has tons of advice!

Also, can I go outside and cut a small branch off a plant and do it the way you describe? I like the idea of the buttons. Thank you !!!

You'll need 2 vases, both should be same height and you'll need one small bud vase and one larger vase. First, carefully insert the bud vase into the larger vase. Then fill up the spaces between the two with colorful marbles, rocks, buttons, whatever you have on hand. The water, of course, is then filled into the bud vase where you place your cutting. If you place this in a window where it catches the light you'll have a pretty root starter (and good use of those empty vases). :) By Pam Irie Report Spam or Abuse Rooting Plant Cuttings Post By Charonda (Guest Post) (06/14/2005) I have some peace lilly clippings that I have had for a little over a week. Currently, they are in standing water, in a clear vase. Is this a good way to form a root? How long should it take to form a root? And if the root does form is it a good idea to go ahead and pot the peace lilly or should I just continue to grow it in water? One other problem is that the very, very tip of my lilly's are starting to brown what should I do? Report Spam or Abuse
