I wouldn't fertilize now either. I agree rooting in spring has its benefits, but since you're trying to save the leaf at this time, you can't hold off till spring.. Like Rjm stated, diving the leaf is one way to root. Actually, I've seen pics of how rooting Sans is done..One leaf is cut into 2-3" pieces, set upright/angle in well-draining soil. The problem is, since your leaf is yellow, which normally happens when Sans are over or underwatered, this leaf may not root..When rooting, heatlhy foliage is recommeded..Neither the oldest nor youngest leaves are advised. I'm not saying your leaf is unhealthy, since it's still firm (no rot, right?) So, it might have a chance of survival with some work. It's also a good experiment. I wouldn't use the entire leaf to root. You've a better chance at success cutting into pieces. If you decide to go this route, there's no need for plastic (humidity) In fact, you want the soil to dry out to a degree, adding plstic will keep soil too wet. The best container is a small, shallow dish/tray. Set cuttings a few inches apart. Place tray in medium light (no direct sun) If you use Superthrive Hormone and Vitamins, add a small amount once a month..If you don't have/use Superthrive, perhaps a light dose of Fish Emulsion will help..a very light dose. Good luck, Toni

GEEZ KAY,Thats not very incourageing with WILD CHERRY ROUNDUP.i HOPE I get at least one bloom out of it that opens good, to see what it looks like.I may try moving it some where else this fall, to see if it might do batter next spring,but I wont discard it..Might give it to one of my daughters who is like Me and is a flower nut.Her main love is roses, but loves daylilies, too. THANK YOU all for looking aand the NICE comments. Jean

Joan Derifield is my favorite too, I always like daylilies with that color/look. I love Autumn Wood & would never consider getting rid of it here :) Just such a unique color. I have Jen Melon too, such a simple look but a huge flower & lovely color. I don't really think I need more white daylilies, but everyone loves Joan Senior & your clump looks so nice. Royal Frosting looks really good too. Love the squirrel, he looks so comical.

Thank youJulia. Oh how I wish I could send you ALL of this heat. Its right at 7PM and its still 97 outside,and I have to get off here awhile and go water ,as some are still in pots,so have to watch them close,and as hot as it is,everything is dry and needs a drink. MARYLRITA. Thank you for your suggestion.I had not thought about that, but you are right and I will try not to forget, too.I can't remember names of each one either,is why I keep a little note pad by my keyboard,and when I see a bloom I want to comment on,I write the name on my notepad,so I don't have to keep back tracking to see 'WHAT WAS THE NAME OF IT?"I remember alot of the names, but,might not be the one I want to comment on.so I appreciate your suggestion. now I have to go outside awhile in that blistering heat and do some watering. Jean
