id like to see if i can increase my stock of plants...is it possible to grow
broom from the seed pods easily? also what about lavender Papillion seed
heads? fuchsias? how long do i leave the seed or pods on the plant before
i can remove them?


Fuchsias are dead easy from cuttings - at the most basic, cut a lot of
twigs about 3-4in long, making the cut just below a pair of leaves,
remove all the leaves apart from the top two, put all the cuttings into
a pot of compost so that most of the twig is buried, put the whole thing
in a plastic bag to keep moist, keep an eye on it to make sure it stays
moist, and remove any mouldy bits, and in due course most of the twigs
will root.
