Default Bottlebrush cuttings

Good afternoon,

I've been offered the chance of taking some cuttings from a friend's
bottlebrush plant. Any advice on as to when and how the cuttings should
be taken, would be most welcome.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It has been the very best year for bottlebrush I've known. They are
splendid and very attractive~ our peculiar summer seems to have been just
right for them..
Not the easiest to take but June/July is correct. Use 3to4" heeled,
semi-ripe, laterals. Use a 50% sand/peat mix and bottom heat of 20C. Will
take a few weeks to root.
Best Wishes Brian.


Thanks for that Brian.
