Cuttings Problem.
Hi, I have no problem cultivating from cuttings, its just keeping them
through the winter. I keep them in a cold frame, on the patio. They seem to just die after a few months. I try not to water to regular, and I think the potting compost is No 2, Cuttings range from Fuchia Nepata Honeysuckle etc any help appreciated. Mike. |

Fuchsia need more winter protecion as young plants, and the others are probably not well enough established to cope, either do the cuttings much earlier in the year (I have already started) or give more protection in winter -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea |

Water the compost well and cover the top of the pot with a clear freezer bag. We have a pot full of Penstamen cuttings taken in autumn in the unheated green house awaiting potting on shortly.
