can I root broken dahlia stems?
Comments (13)Thanks! I do have rooting hormone. I had pinched these plants heavily because I wanted them to be very short and bushy for containers. They are "windowbox" dahlias. I have 4 inches of "trunk" left in the pot, fortunately branched near the base. The storm was Monday night but the victim is still looking very bruised and battered, with limp leaves. Soil is soggy too from that rain plus another drencher 2 days ago. So now I'm anticipating rot too! I already have one of these, a different one, limp with what I assume is rot, from before this wind storm. The pot has drainage but somehow the holes have become plugged. It is ceramic and has a permanenetly attached saucer, so I can't get anything in there to ream out the holes. I have the pot on its side to drain out, hopefully. All the potted dahlias on the deck were damaged, but with the others I was able to stake them up and trim off small broken parts. Only one was flung totally upside down to the ground....See MoreHELP!

Comments (1)It's a little early for digging them but the bulbs should be fine. The roots above the bulbs are stem roots and help to stabilize the stem in the ground. You can still dig down and get the bulbs, I assume you wanted to move them or divide them? Planting the stems will not form new bulbs but your husband didn't do any damage....See MoreBlueberry has broken stalk, will it grow from the roots?
Comments (4)I've had two small but established blueberries broken off in my garden. One by children playing soccer, another by unknown foot traffic. Maybe of animal variety. Neither one came back from the roots....See Moreroots of my plant got broken off from plant can i put them in water
Comments (6)Not knowing where you live -- it's getting late on a Friday night and you'll need to get started on this in morning. So right now stay calm and someone may chime in to tell you what to do with the crown in the meantime. Tomorrow you can get your potting mix and supplies together, and plant the crown. Nothing can grow from the roots though. Can you post a picture of the crown next to something to give us a sense of it's size. (Perhaps a dollar bill or ruler.)...See MorePreety Adiv
