Senecio mandraliscae - "Blue Chalk Finger" cuttings???
Comments (4)I've not been very good with leaf cuttings of Senecio, I think because I'm so spoiled on the ease of leaves of the Crassulaceae (Senecio is in the daisy family, a different one) rooting. I venture you'd be better off rooting cuttings of Senecio, since you have lots of them, rather than leaves....See MoreHAVE: xtra rooted cuttings
Comments (8)mymimi I sent you an email. Everyone else, I still have more of these. Plus I should have mentioned that I've got a few others as well, ones and twos that I didn't list. So, if you are looking for something in particular, email me and ask. I might have it. Also, I should have stated,US only, I don't ship internationally.

Comments (3)I did this early in the summer with the one that has the round leaves about the size of a dime, maybe smaller...first I tried stem rooting, and three rotted off at soil level. So I took the two remaining and used hair pins to fasten them flat to the soil, misting and watering as needed all summer...This was how I had success rooting rosary vine and hoya curtisii. Anyway, that was in June, I just noticed last week that one of the stems is sprouting a new stem. So far so good- but it may take a while! I know what you mean about the EA soil, especially after the plants spend even more time getting drowned by the employees at whereever you got it. If I see a plant that looks like it has been at the store too long, I will usually not buy, unless it is one I have been desperately looking for. And the dischidias are so hard to repot!! Good Luck...See MoreI think I might've finally figured out the best way to root cuttings
Comments (27)Cori Ann, I was able to root other roses, not florist roses. I only ever got one florist rose to root. And yes I understand there is something they treat the roses with that probably does inhibit the rooting process. But I know it can be done. There was a lady on the Forums several yrs ago who rooted lots of them. I haven't seen her on here in a long time. Ya know, last night I looked at that video you posted about growing roses from seed. It's funny, I kept watching all sorts of rose propagating videos on YouTube. Some are hilarious. And some are very informative. And some are interesting, but incomplete. They don't show the end results. Anyway, in one of the videos, I saw a rooting product that intrigued me, and I ordered some from Amazon last night. It's called "Clonex gel." It's a super-concentrated rooting hormone that seals the end of the cutting. The reviews sounded great. Most people got well over 90% success. That's of course many other types of plants, but some that were difficult to root otherwise. I can't wait to try it now!...See Moretomstrees
