Does anyone else here grow their plants from root cuttings?
Most of my natural plants are grown from cuttings. I can remember my Grandmother (who had an incredible estate of gardens) and her friends exchanging cuttings all the time. Last year one of the guys working at our Lowe's was cleaning up a plant spill after a storm and was going to throw away a pile of broken Butterfly Bushes and he gave me a couple little branches. Now those little branches are the size of the five gallon plants they sell. One is yellow and one is a very dark purple.
I have several plants that relatives have broken off their mother plants and given me. Kinda like a living gift! Not to mention an inexpensive way to plant your beds!
Do you use the water to dirt method or the root powder in dirt when you grow them?
