You need to click the Translation link for English in the top right hand corner of the webpage, this will set everything to English.

I did not see that, Terry. Thanks.

Greetings folks!
I just rediscovered this site, I guess it got lost in the mix.
Anyway, now, August IS a good time to take cuttings.
I wrote an article a few years ago on how I root cuttings.
http://thecitrusguy.blogspot.c...
Matter of fact, I do this every year, or some variation of it.
There are about 50 more cuttings I am working on this year.
Please let me know if you try this and what kind of success you have,

Thanks!!
Darren

I found quite by accident, that my camellias root best when cuttings are taken in December/ January. I had some breakage due to last year's brief ice storm and I took the cuttings and put them in a forsythe pot. ( Just a large pot with a water reservoir in the center). I left the pot outdoors all winter and by March/April my little camellias were putting out new growth. I didn't expect anything to really root, but more cuttings survived that way than when I took them in July and August It was a great surprise. Now it is the only way I root them.

Woo Hoo!! I see a face I recognize...@TheCitrusGuy is involved with the North Charleston Plant Swap. It is a very well-organized and well-attended swap and he knows his stuff!!
