Plants for home security
P.S.
Pyracantha is easy to propogate from short shoots ripped off a pruned stem
to give a heel. Remove a few lower leaves with a sharp knife, wet the heel,
dip in hormone rooting powder and dib into a small trough containing a
mixture of peat based compost (50% by volume), grit (25%) and vermiculite
(25% ). Put in a dozen or so, label them, keep well watered and stand
back!! I use that mixture for all shrub cuttings - it's ideal for fuchias.
