New bouquet rooting attempt

After my success with rooting grocery store Cherry Brandy last year, I have my eyes peeled for store roses that impress me, to try again.
WELL!
Today at Sam's Club I was wowed by Queen's Crown. According to my online research it's a 2019 Kordes cut rose. So trying again, hopefully one will root!

Relatively new to Oncidium and attempting to resurrect a Phal
Comments (2)The spidery looking Oncidium might be a Brassia or a Brassia mixed up with other Oncidium type orchids. You should be able to find some complete cultivation notes under Oncidium Intergeneric on the net. There are some notes on getting Phals to bloom in the link. Here is a link that might be useful: FAQ on Phalaenopsis Blooming...See Moremy one lame attempt at rooting

Comments (11)I know a lot of people here frequent more than this forum and I posted this same thing over on the Conifer Forum thread: but thought I'd put it here too for those finding this thread using a web search. Thanks again windberry for the advice. I'm actually feeling a little more confident doing it this way than if you hadn't commented on this post. That doesn't mean I'll have success but at least I feel better about it. LOL! 1-24-18 Forecast next week for single digits below and single digits above zero so I thought I'd get to it before the weekend. 70% perlite, 30% peat rooting media (9oz plastic cups filled to 1/4" of top, drainage holes in bottom). Watered media wet with distilled water mixed with a Tbsp. or two of 3% hydrogen peroxide per quart. Did this early in the day. Cuttings taken ~11 AM (20's F outside temp). Immediately brought into house and cut to approx. 10"L. All pieces were part of a competing leader so top leader/branches were good size (> 1/8" dia.) with some of the lower shoots/branches a bit more spindly (<= 1/8" dia.). New growth reduced by clipping to uniform length. Basal ends cut close to and containing a small slice of the parent leader/bark at sharp angle, stripped of green material for 1/3 up from the bottom, wounded along one side and dipped for 5 seconds in 1:1 Dip & Grow/distilled water solution. Planted in pre-formed planting holes approx. 3" deep. Settled media around stem by finger pressing and watering with a small amount distilled water directly onto planting hole area. Placed trays on 17w. horticultural heat mat. Will monitor temperatures but so far, after a couple of hours, thermometer in cup media barely making 70dF with ambient room temperature hovering around 60dF. Hoping for low 70's media but this is better than overheating which I thought might happen without a thermostat. But so far so good. :-)Yes, those are (6) Thuja occidentalis in the two outside trays. Lucked out and got a branch from a neighbor the same day I was cutting so wanted to try a few....See MoreUnsuccessful propagation attempts -Rose Bouquet n Pewter Bells
Comments (5)Try making your medium damp, not wet, use lots of perlite, and keep it loose in the cup. Don't pack it in, leave the medium loose and fluffy. This allows for more air circulation. Also, you can try lightly bleaching your leaves before propagating. There is a lot of information on sterilization using bleach on the internet, it seems scary but a lot of the successful growers do it! Good luck. (I have excellent luck propagating, so I remember the leaves that died on me, and Pewter Bells was one of them, so you are not alone!)...See More
