anybody have success with cuttings from petunias? i have tried all typed of methods, with plastic cover, misting three times a day, no plastic cover, sandy soil, the white vermiculite type stuff beginning with p(can't remember name) these are the things i really need to propagate but hardly have any success with....
Hiya I don't know what slit in the ground method means? I was going to put them into pots! The roses not te hydrangea. Thanks Ceres for the photo - that's helpful. Are those geraniums? Can geraniums be rooted in 1cm water too?
If you read an earlier post of mine to you in this thread, I describe exactly what to do in the slit in the ground method. You just need to scroll back through the comments.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Many roses root very easily from cuttings taken in the winter, in my experience. This year I have accidentally grown a dozen or so Rosa rugosa (a species rose normally propagated from seed). I pruned the hedge in Jan or Feb this year and chopped the prunings into 30cm lengths so they would fit in my plastic rubble sacks, intending to take them to the tip "as and when". In March I extended some borders by removing some lawn, and rummaged in the rubble sacks for spikey prunings to stick in the soil to stop cats using the area as a toilet. Not all the rose prunings went in the ground the right way up, but about a third of those which WERE the right way up, rooted.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Liriodendron you just stuck them in the ground? I have put my rose cuttings in pots...I do not know if I have done it correctly but I followed the links. Every video I have watched says cover with a plastic bottle or bag. I have not done this.

Slit in the ground = slit trench .... the second link I posted above
It's the way I do it

That's amazing Ceres. I hope I can have cuttings success such as this.

Okay I will have another look. Thank you
No problems.
Thanks Verdun, yes I am learning so much everyday. Gardening is so much fun and so rewarding :-)
