mytime, Sorry to not follow up. Gardenweb was not forwarding responses to this post (and for a while all my posts) so I was not aware that anyone had responded to it. I had some bad luck propagating earlier this year and then got sidetracked. Fuchsia boliviana Alba cuttings started to root but some sort of fungus caused problems and killed them. The Correa cuttings I first tried did not root. I will start some new ones now, with bottom heat (which I did not use before). Pretty commonly even without bottom heat factored in a lot of plants propagate poorly in winter. So we'll see. I started a bunch of Deppea cuttings a week ago. That plant had some bug problems earlier in the year and I was reluctant to take a lot of cuttings until it fully recovered. I may or may not start new cuttings of the F. boliviana Alba soon; I'm not sure where that ranks on the list of things that I need/want to propagate. However, that plant has done really well and should produce a steady crop of berries in the near future. Here's a photo of the plant from about 10 days ago: And here's a closeup of the berries on one inflorescence: I find it amusing how the berries get long, and then get fat. So mytime, maybe I should contact you when things start to root. As far as the berries, I might try one batch of seeds, but in general I don't have a use for them. I guess I could eat them... If anyone wants a berry for postage (then they can clean out the seeds) I can send one for postage. They can get a bit soft when ripe, and the berry may end up smushed. I'm guessing that's not a problem. Andrea, thanks for the propagation advice. I do enjoy trying to see how many cuttings I can get from limited material. I didn't realize the stems can be split like that. If the seeds are easy, maybe I'll try some. I generally don't like growing things from tiny seeds, especially if they are easy to root. However I've never tried Fuchsias. I see the Fuchsia forum has no exchange site, so I'll mention it here. I'm looking for the variegated F. procumbens, which I believe goes by the name 'Mary Miller'. In trade, I have a lot of things, but only a few Fuchsias and none of them propagated at the moment. The other Fuchsias I have are the regular procumbens, denticulata, 'First Success' (F. paniculata x F. splendens'), F. x baccillaris and of course F. boliviana Alba. I may have access to F. splendens as well; my old plant went to a friends house in the area. Perhaps I'll try start a F. procumbens thread when my new F. procumbens opens another flower and repeat the question about the variegated cultivar. I thought I'd mention that an interesting source I've found locally for small inexpensive plants is Lone Pine Gardens, which is a wholesaler for succulents and bonsai plants. Their little Fuchsias are just a few dollars, and are often found in the bonsai section of nurseries (in N. California at least). I got 'First Success', procumbens, and x bacillaris from them. The plant on the right, of course, is Fuchsia 'First Success', which seems to be a really nice hybrid.

Hello angelbuck from z9 LA, I have a pothos that I've had for over 13 years. I hang it outside in the spring and summer then bring it back inside in late summer or fall. I have repotted it and trimmed the roots twice. When I hang it back outside in about mid spring I cut it back to about two inches from the soil when it starts to grow again. It was a gift given to me when my son was born. I have taken many cuttings and started them in dirt. I have started as many as 6 and up to 12 cuttings in a ten inch pot. I have heard of people starting up to 20 cuttings at a time. I have some growing under fluorescent lights inside as well. I feed all of them about a half cup or more of worm castings about every two months. The more plants that are in a pot the more you have to feed them and the sooner they will outgrow their pot. Let the soil almost completely dry out and then soak the soil very well if they grow outside. If they are inside, then let them dry about half way and then water just until a little water drains out of the bottom. Happy pothos growing! Buddy

You don't have to even root them in water (yes, the water can get slimy if you don't change it often). As long as you keep the soil moist, just pot your cuttings with at least a couple of the brown nubs buried in the soil. Almost guaranteed to root. As for making them bushier, after the stems grow to about 15", you can just snip or break them off halfway down and pot the broken pieces. I believe the original vine should branch out if you do this.
