I made a couple of cuttings a couple of weeks ago of my Barbra
Kurst variety,
one of the easiest to grow in the Bougie family, for me anyway.
He dropped its
last bloom so I cut it back for new growth. its in a pot,
indoors, here in the
east. 2 of the cuttings have shown new leafs at the tips, but
when i check for
roots, i don't see any. If I plant them as they are, would they
grow without
showing roots? I would keep it a closed container for humidity
sake. Also, I
have another Bogie, that goes as a Harissi variety with
variegated leaves, but
no flowers in 6 years...why? I treat it the same as the one
above and that
blooms at least twice a year.
A couple of weeks is a bit brief -- especially this time of year.
Keep the cuttings in a greenhouse (or some other warm, humid
environment, and give them several weeks' more time. Bottom heat
would be appreciated, I'm sure.
