Propagation This Month

I agree, they're so pretty. Can't wait to see mine flowering!

Tomato cuttings must be pretty easy in water, I mean a lot of solanaceae will get going super easy, so why not toms? I'll give it a go if I remember

I just did this with laurel. A lot cruder though!! Trimmed a hedge and cut some of the clippings above leaf joint took some of the leaves off. Stuck 100 of them in the ground fingers crossed a few will grow. If not..... Oh well..... No harm. will do the same in Autumn when I trim it again...

Its meant to increase the chances of rooting tricky shrubs and trees. You slice through the stem of the potential cutting just above the bottom nodes, then insert cocktail stick or toothpick to hold the cut open. It let's a callous form before removing the cutting, which is done in October or...

Thank you, Lolimac and Pamsdish @Lolimac,Cuttings are Forsythia,Viburnum tinus And a Choisya, the Choisya got a lot of wind damage and the root ball is bad so i got so cutting a few weeks back just in case it may died ie: 10 per pot, so if i know it will be about, say 10 weeks for them to put...

We've just had a dozen Wisteria seedlings pop up . We don't want another Wisteria

And I thought you meant the 1792 renovation.

Cuttings taken in September, in the main, I would be inclined to leave in the original pot until next year. Potting on means they will have minimal root, for the pot size, and a risk that they cannot easily handle the amount of water that the pot can hold - meaning that they run the risk of...

I've grown both summer and winter pansies and not excluded light but did keep them out of direct sunlight until they were almost ready to plant out.

The seed looks perfect Zappa! It's amazing how many the pods hold.

I know this is a popular method, but it has never worked for me. I find that using filter paper / kitchen towel I can never get the air / moisture balance correct. Its far too easy to have too much water / not enough air. Personally I much prefer to use a couple of teaspoons of damp vermiculite...

I see that he has Alstromeria psittacina. Ask about it next time that you're there - it's one that I really recommend.

Thanks @Spruce

Although I like my seed spuds to sprout, I'm not as patient as them, they get planted when I want them planted......... it works!1st earlies in 2nd earlies in Maincrop inJust look out for late frosts and be prepared to fleece/cover if necessary.

Aha! This thread reminds me .... I need to send a certain someone a PM!

I tend to agree with Madahhlia on this . I find Ebay very easy to search and purchase on , I seem to get the majority of my seeds from there now. I know lots on here like Chiltern seeds , but I did find them high cost . Then again they do have a huge range of seeds.

Chilean guavas apparently used to be Queen Victoria's favourite fruit, so they grow well in the English climate and are hardy to about -10C.That's all I know as I haven't actually ever grown them before.

Sounds like the perfect plant for me then! I find that unless a plant is really, really determined to grow, it just curls up its toes and dies in the soil here...I will get out there and divide away tomorrow.

We are near the south coast Devon, but we have had quite a lot of frost last week with zero temperatures. No snow though. The wind chill has been pretty cold these last few days. At the moment it’s 6 degrees. Tonight we expect 2 o.V
