Can Sky Blue Lobelia be propagated from cuttings?
Comments (2)Absolutely! In fact, that is how it IS propagated commercially - not from seed....See MoreCan I propagate vigna caracalla from a cutting ?
Comments (4)I have rooted them in both potting soil and water. The water method was purely an accident as I was cutting back to bring in for the winter. Could not bear to throw those long runners away so I stuck them in a bucket of water and set them aside. I was very surprised the following spring when I was moving plants out and found the bucket. Several of the runners had good roots on them and did well when I potted them up. Don't know if it would happen again but it did that once.

Comments (0)This is the commercial method of propagation hardwood from cuttings. In the coldest part of winter, take cuttings at least the thickness of a thumb. Cut to about 5" lengths. Place upside down in a pail filled with sand. Fill with water to the top of the sand. Keep in cool place, but frost-free. In spring, you will find little knobs on the sticks where roots will set. That's the right time to set each one right side up in a pot of soil. Water. This works for willow, poplar, dogwood, and other hardwoods which produce their own rooting hormones. You can test for suitability of a species by placing a twig in water. If roots form by themselves, the species can be used. If you have soaking wet ground in the spring, you can stick willow branches directly into the wet ground as soon as the frost is gone out of the soil. They root more easily than any other species. One warning: Do not plant willow or poplar within 100' of a building. The roots go wandering, looking for water. They end up plugging sewer lines. All the above hardwoods are water-loving plants and should not be planted unless the conditions are right. You have to have really wet springs to satisfy their thirst....See Moreis it possible to propagate from a summer cutting
Comments (3)I will tell you how I do it, but be forewarned I have no idea if this is the proper way lol. I take the cutting, dip the fresh cut end in rooting hormone powder, then put it in a wet paper towel. Then I place that in a cup of dirt, and I slowly move up the container sizes if it works. I personally like to graft mine onto citation rootstock after its growing well. My neighbors and I root from cuttings frequently. How long has the branch been down?...See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
