How long does it take to root one of these?
Comments (4)Hi Mike, It can take quite some time. I've rooted leaves in mix, that can take around a year. I've recently water rooted a stem, but didn't make note of the date I put it up. I took these pix, 'cause they show the round tuber AND the roots the plant develops. I really don't remember how long it took, but am guessing 9 months maybe, like from last Fall (I think I had accidentally broken the stem off the parent plant). and and So if you can grow some serious patience, you might end up w/ something like this. I think I'll take mine to my local Plant Society to pass around & show this development & then sell it at their plant sale table for a couple of bucks....See MoreHow do you root hoyas and how long does it take?
Comments (2)Okay, First of all, what you have there is a Hoya carnosa 'Rubra' Its expired trademark name is Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Princess'⢠This cultivar has a tendency to revert to plain green leaves. The vines that have just green leaves will not start producing variegated leaves again. That means that if you did sell cuttings from this plant, you would have two types of cuttings, which would need to be correctly labeled: 1: variegated cuttings = Hoya carnosa 'Rubra' (commonly called 'Krimson Princess') 2: non-variegated cuttings = Hoya carnosa You would not need to root the cuttings. Hoyas are often, if not primarily, sold as unrooted cuttings. But seeing as this is a very common Hoya, your buyer market would be beginner Hoya growers, and they might feel less confident about their ability to root a Hoya. So, I don't know whether you would be able to move them that way or not. To root a Hoya, you just stick it in the medium you intend to grow it in, with one or more nodes (the bumps leaves grow from) underneath or in contact with the soil. Keep the medium moist but not wet, while rooting. It takes around a month, slower this time of year....See MoreHow long does Jade take to root?
Comments (8)Good idea Rina and Crenda. Maybe I'll pull them out and set them somewhere in the house. I've had leaves of other species grow roots in a glass bowl by accident but didn't know i could do this with broken Jade stems as well. Crenda, I've been really bad about the weather lately. I've brought some of the more tender succulents into the garage but some of the heavier ones and less tender I left outside because I hurt my back last time I was dragging them all around. They all look great even after the low 40's last night. Though I got really lucky because about 2 mi more inland they had a decent bit of frost last night. The only thing that saved me is that I'm surrounded by the beach a few miles away on one side and the harbor on the other. Speaking of the water, are you all getting the red tide down there as well? My Jade, along with the cuttings, are actually in my carport which is a little insulated by a thick covering of Passiflora incarnata. Your cuttings however look great and give me hope that mine will root as well. I wonder if a heating mat might be a good idea....See MoreHow long does a Topped tree takes to grow?
Comments (111)Wow! thanks for posting the after photos! It gives me hope...our poplar has been recently topped and I am deeply saddened. Any research I've done about topped trees is negative, yes they might grow back but the life span is shortened also the tree is much more susceptible to disease and insect infestation. I would love an update on your tree. P.S I would cut off the big branches from the side, without them the tree looks alot more natural....See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
