Hello and g’evening folks it’s a pleasure to meet the 3 of you, thanks so much for your responses and the warm welcomes.
*WOW, another Wisconsinite*
Last night b/4 I went to bed I felt a bit guilty about submerging the Sedums in water because I’d read that they die if over watered.
In fact I had one for 2 yrs b/4 I killed it off by over watering it.
Of course I had not researched the info until after I killed it.
Anyhoo, back to the subject at hand.
I wrapped each one of the stems in a dampened paper towel then wet another one and put them all together.
I remember my Mom doing this when I was a lil’ kid, she’s also the one who was able to successfully root plants from leaves, that’s how I learned to do it.
She’d do it w/ many different kinds of leaves especially Christmas cactuses, every time a leaf would fall off she’d put it in water doing it exactly the way I did it last night.
She’d use waxed paper on top of the glass but being on vacay I only had Saran wrap w/ me.
We had LOTS of Christmas cactuses in our house because she just would NOT throw those fallen leaves out, she stated she was going to give them to friends and she did.
Today I put the 3 wrapped stems in a glass (no water added
) and set them out on the screened in patio so they could get some sun.
I am going to leave them there over night as it’s supposed to be in the high 70s low 80s during the night.
I’ll let you folks know if they make it home ok.
Again, thanks for the responses and welcomes.
Shaw
