    I took some cuttings earlier, from non-flowering shoots, about 3/4 inches long.. and used a liquid root helper.

    Has anyone had any success with cuttings, as I've never tried before and I don't know the best methods..

    so any help is appreciated! :thumbsup:

    I have found ours has small roots coming from the stems already so if you took a longer cutting or put a pot underneath whilst still attached to the main plant and then once rooted proper cut of from the main plant

      I put my plant in this rockery area of my garden :o I think I'd have problems getting it up..

      But I have some more in my hanging basket I'll take a look at tomorrow.

      Creeping Jenny prefers wet soil.

      I pulled about 20 sprigs off 2 weeks ago, stuck them in little pots; put the pots in a barrel with about 2 inches of water in it and they're taking over the barrel already.

        Jealous.. they're starting to take over the hanging basket, so I have no idea where to start because I also have geraniums in with them, so don't want to kill anything.
