Daphne - Propagation
Hi GG's
We had a REAL HOT SPELL a month or so ago and the Daphne [Daphne Odora Alba - "Star White"] was knocked about a bit. It lost a whole heap of leaves, but, it is now coming back. Where the leaves fell off, multiple new growth is developing - very slowly! As this is a hard specimen to find, I'd like to risk an attempt to propagate it. Daphne are notoriously fickle plants and I don't want to kill the plant we have, just to have the cutting not take either. I need your help! What is the best way to propagate Daphne from a cutting? -- Regards: *krONik* "Somewhere ... *something incredible* is waiting to be known!" Carl Sagan [1939 - 1996] |

Daphne - Propagation
Where do you live? They grow like weeds here. Seattle area, You can buy a
nice 1 gallon plant for less than $10 here. Not worth the effort to porpogate them. I can steer you in the eright direction if you need contact names "krONik" wrote in message ...

I just pop a few pieces into some moist potting mix. At least one should grow, if you keep it moist but not wet. And you've still got your original plant as well. Jen |
