  • All sounds pretty good will  try tboth both Verdun......will be potting up the cuttings at the nursing home and will bring them back here.....some can go in my little green house ( and I mean little...it's on my balcony). and I think I will put some on my window cill and see how they go. Thanks.

     

  • Will Lavender root without a rooting hormone? If not where can I get some from and are there any rooting hormones that anyone can recommend?

    I tried cutting with rooting powder and they didnt take but last week I was tidying up some lavender bushes and notice four little plants had taken root in the gravel drive.  I carefully pulled them up and have planted them in a pot filled with ordinary potting compost.  Im leaving them outside for now and will move them into the GH for the winter (not heated) and just see how they go.  If you want to try rooting powder they sell it at most GCentres.

    I just cut back most of the green growth but dont go back into the hard wood.  If you do that its unlikely that new growth will be prduced.
