I have the two big ones in pools. The just blew over today. We had a nasty wind storm. The 2 y.o. ones are not in pools and those are the ones I need to take care of. I keep my cuttings in pools in the gh because of what you said, drying out. It works wonders, yet some people say I over water. I don't think so. It works. I felt I should leave them outside also. Thanks so much and I do appreciate your information. I always say I am never too old to learn. I will get up early tomorrow and at least put big saucers under the 2 y.o.s and that should help. I water daily as is but that is a better idea.
I sell my Jasmine at the farmers market but I sell them young and they keep them until they want to sell them. They also want my gardenias but I am not sure these are ready. Are you familiar with the Aimee?
It is a stubborn one but oh my so beautiful and the best for cutting and using for designs that I have found.
They last days , nearly a week in water when cut and treated for floral designs. I sometimes just cut the blooms, stick them in water, change the water daily and in a week or so the flowers die and in another week or so they root in water. Never saw that before. I have 3 in. , 6 in. and 2 y.o. to sell just now. They can be standards or regular depending on the cuttings I take. The standards are so popular because they look like trees and people seem to like that up here. They are very scarce up here.
Thanks again Shoe. You are so helpful.
