Cuttings

I love my bright pink Salvia so I took a cutting three or four weeks ago. It's rooted well and flowering already!
Do you take cuttings?

Wow, that's doing really well Tessa.

I have in the past but I am never really successful with things like that, apart from a certain pond plant which I did manage to grow from a cutting, only to find that the thing seeded everywhere anyway.

I do take a lot of cuttings, dahlias from tubers, but my most noteworthy cutting was three bay leaf cuttings taken over 12 years ago, one survived and is now a standard about 10 feet tall. I will bung a photo up tomorrow

I think nearly all the plants in my garden are from cuttings I have taken on my daily walks. Even one of my grevilleas is from a cutting I took at the steel works when I worked there (they are almost impossible to grow from cuttings).

I am very fond of succulents because they always take.

Houseplants don't like me, I've tried cutting from those that have lived, they don't take
