    Had to share this as i am not very successful when it comes to plants. Bought a lavateria about 2 week ago, planted it in the garden an as usual for this kind its blooming already. Anyway, daughter let the rabbit out an it quickly snipped off one of its stems! Strait away stood it in glass of water then put in small tub compost and covered with bag. Thinking it would shrivel up an die but no! 10 days later it still stood proud an now a bud is opening! Chuffed to bits :wow:

      Check the underside of the pot it's in. When you can see roots coming out of the base you can pot it on into something bigger. It may take a few weeks to get to that stage.
