I have succesfully rooted oleander by simply letting a cutting sit on
a vase of water for about 4 weeks. I have 2 big bushes in my yard in
Morrisville. I've had them at least 5 years now. They dry up in
winter then bud in mid spring. They are about 4 ft. high. I prune
them down to a foot for the winter.

Never tried to root oleander in water. found it easy to root with root
tone and good potting soil. I enclosed the potted cuttings in a plastic
bag, put them somewhere warm and got good results. It has been a couple
of years so I can't remember how long it took.

Anyway, I have an oleander cutting (double, violet flowers), and
I'm wondering if it will root in water or if I need to go the rootone
route. Anyone have any experience/luck rooting oleanders?

And thanks.
