restio propagation
In article , Charlie
Pridham writes Chris does most from seed, but some of his bigger clumps he splits, for seed you need the smoke impregnated blotting paper to soak in water then water in I did a lot of Callistemon once on top of the wood burning stove in the living room, guess though there won't be enough smoke for that? Thanks Charlie, where do you get smoke impregnated blotting paper from exactly? -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
