I know Agaves and Yukkas sprout new plants and will continue to grow if you cut them off and replant them. I think Rhoeo also as we got some in pots others have given us I was wondering what other plants you can cut off the new sprouting plants or parts of plant and then replant? Thanks Re: New Plants from cuts 2Apr 23, 2013 10:52 pm What can't you Most of what you buy in a garden centre has been grown from cuttings. That which has not has been done in a lab as tissue cultures by plant breeders from plants that can normally be done by cuttings. Cuttings are most commonly made with soft wood, semi hard wood or hard wood depending on the plant you have a go at propagating. Honey makes for a very effective cutting "gell" of sorts. Dip the cuttings in the honey before inserting into the soil. Do the cuttings in coco peat. Much better than seed raising/ propagating mixes. Division is the other method plants are grown. Many grasses are done like this. They are cut right back, and then pulled apart, then potted up. Buying full pots of many grasses is a good way to get your landscaping costs down if you don't mind things not looking instant. You can cut them back and divide them up. Many shrubs can also be propagated by bending a branch down onto the soil and pinned. A root system often forms at the point it touches the soil. Once formed, the branch can be cut and potted on. There are also products and methods that can that same process happening on the plant as it is. "Rooting pots" are one such thing. (It's not a weird fetish by the way) That's a very simple overview.

The studs should never be bad enough to… 4 11855 Murraya could be a great option for you. It creates a great tall screening hedge but doesn't drop fruit like lily pilly. The flowers smell divine. 2 10268 |
