I've only ever rooted 3 or so at a time. I don't know if plant food helps or
hinders. I don't think you need it. I just remembered that for some reason
not all slips root. Also, depending on the zone you live in, they don't
overwinter through frost. I always take mine in. So much for your hedge,
maybe.

Ok, can I put a dozen or so in the same bucket? Would any thing aid
(within
the water) rooting, such as some diluted plant food?

yes you can! I've done it many times. You take a slip and put it in
water,
and from the nodes the roots will come; make sure you have no leaves on
the
lower nodes. It'll take a few weeks for the roots to take.
Be patient. Good luck.

Can you grow Oleander bushes from their clipping stems, putting them
in
water? Will they root, and be able to be transplanted? I'm looking
for
a
cheap way to add shrubbery.

TIA
