brugmansias yes, spider plants. I put some cut flowers in a vase of water in the summer, and got roots part way down the stem, unfortunately, I cant blooming remember what they were!! I have a friend who has successfully rooted carnations this way.
Late in October, I went away for 12 days. My various pots of basil were thriving but fearing they'd, probably, not survive if there was a serious drop in temperature, I cut off their tops, put them in a jar of water and left them in a bright spot in the kitchen.
When I came back, I found that every single one of the cuttings had grown roots; and this is how they look now, still in that jar!
Hi Helen, I've decided not to plant them up but to leave them in the jar. I keep topping up the jar with rain water to which, once a week, I add a pipettful of liquid fertilizer. At the moment, it works fine but I don't know for how long this will last!
I have never tried rooting it in water, Del, but it has always rooted easily for me in late spring or early summer. If I were you, I would try both methods. One is bound to work, sooner or later. Perseverance is the ticket!
