When I first started growing plants I was about 12 years old and started out growing geraniums of all different kinds, I was more amazed how easy it was to grow them from cuttings. There was a near by garden at the time where I used to live where the gardener trimmed the there geraniums so I always used to collect the trimmings take them home with me and plant them straight into pots and they'd always grow new roots within weeks and thrive. I then got interested in growing more cuttings from other plants but they were not as easy however I was very successful with growing cuttings from weeping willow trees, I then got interested in growing horse chestnuts in pots which also grew nicely, I then became more interested in growing more trees like Acorn trees they are one of my favorite trees, In fact I've been growing an Acorn tree in the back of my living room in a very large plant pot thats 6 six years old now and has been doing very well I remember people telling me that is was a crazy idea to grow an Acorn tree in a plant pot and have it as a house plant as they have large tap roots but its still thriving, it will be re-potted sometime next year into a slightly larger pot. The indoor Acorn tree has never gone dormant and has always kept its green leaves all year around and makes a wonderful centerpiece of my Victorian living room. I'm now into growing tropical plants indoors under grow lamps... I have many plants successfully growing such as several banana plants, pineapples, citrus trees and recently sprouted some palm tree seeds and bamboo seeds. I love growing things. I'm planning on doing an experiment to see if I can grow some Mango's indoors which I know is a bit of a challenge here in the UK but not impossible.
