Bpassino said:What type of annuals do you use? Is the cutting just a stem? Thanks


I bring in coleus, impatiens, and begonias. The front of my house is on the north side so typically I bring in cuttings of plants that do well in partial shade.

I cut off about a 2 to 4 inch length from the top of each stem, depending on how closely the leaves are situated, leaving several of the top leaves on the cutting and remove leaves from the bottom inch or 2. The nodes left where you removed the leaves are where the roots emerge so its important to leave several of these on the cutting. Then I root them in a glass bottle with a narrow top filled with water or place the bottom portion in rootone and plant them in the potting soil.
