I root Brug cuttings that are 4 inches to 4 feet and they all root. |

I have had very good success with the brugs, 10" sections and up. The Confederate Rose I have used 2 ft. sections when they are done blooming in the fall, put them in a bucket of water in a protected area: porch, garage out of frost areas and let them sit over the winter. They do take a long time this way, but by sping you should have plenty of rooted pieces to pot up or plant out. Trudy |

I got a clipping today of a vine plant - a perrenial which is called "Dutch" something or other. It has large strong rounded leaves about the size of an adult hand or larger. I want to know if I can successfully root it inside so I can plant it next spring - or do I do it late this fall? I want to plant it so it will cover my greenhouse. Is this possible? Cheers - I love this forum! |

Thanks everyone for all your info - it turns out I have a clipping of Dutchmans pipe. It is so beautiful, I really hope it roots so I can keep it in soil over the winter until spring somes. Its a hardy vine but apparently you can even grow it in a large container outside - who knew! Julie |

Lucky Bamboo does great just in water. I have 4 of them inside and 2 out in a small pond. |

These have all rooted in water for me, but I usually like to root in straight perlite: Pothos Plectranthus Mint Basil African Violet Avocado Pepper Willow thats all I can drum up right now.... Vera |

I've forgotten all that has been mentioned but I have done varigated sedum too and it worked. Right now I am starting a lot of clippings so I have strong plants to bring in this fall. I have lantana, bleeding heart vine, mexican petunia and a sun loving coleus all in water and indirect sun right now. |
