Propagating azaleas and lantanas
Has anyone successfully propagated azaleas and lantanas from the cutting
here in the triangle. If so please let me know the secret, I tried a method given in one of the webistes, but failed :( So, I am looking for some tested and proven methods. Also, am I right in assuming that this is the time to do this? Thanks. |

Cut the new growth off, remove most of the leaves, Scratch the bark that is to be rooted, and put them in a sand/peat mixture in a protected place with no direct sunlight. You have to keep the sand/peat moist, but not standing in water. You can also propagate by taking a likely limb and putting a shovel full of dirt and optionally a brick on top of the dirt. Should be rooted by next spring. Thanks. -- Wes Dukes (wdukes.pobox@com) Swap the . and the @ to email me please. spam@www.spam.com is a garbage address. |
Propagating azaleas and lantanas
Lantanas are actually really easy... Cut and place in water. I always try
to cut on a diagonal just below a leaf node & also strip most of the leaves, leaving only some near the top. I think I took mine later last year, maybe even closer to September, but it couldn't hurt to try now...
