How to tell if a cutting has taken?
How can one tell if a cutting has rooted?
I've left half-a-dozen cuttings for about 3 weeks in a Lidl set of 6 covered and warmed containers. The leaves all look healthy. Should I transfer them to pots? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin |

Should I transfer them to pots? Leave well alone until roots poke out the bottom or the top growth is starting to get too big - whichever happens first. Most plants resent root disturbance to some extent. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

Should I transfer them to pots? How to tell if cuttings have rooted; either, look at the bottom drainage hole for signs of white root emerging. But you're unlikely to see that after 3 weeks. Thanks for your response. I'll leave the cuttings a little longer. But roughly how long would you expect them to take? They are mainly ceanothus cuttings. I was hoping to take them to Italy. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin |

Some cuttings like Chrysanth and Fuchia could be rooted quite well in 3 weeks whilst othersubjects like some shrub cuttings could take 9 months or longer to root properly. It is always a help to give as much info in your origional question and not wait for someone to drag it out of you. |

Ceanothus I would say 5-6 weeks in good conditions would be a reasonable guess. -- Charlie, Gardening in Cornwall Holders of National Collections of Clematis viticella and Lapageria rosea cvs http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk |

When I take cuttings in the second half of summer, I don't repot them until at least may the following year. |

Plants have no appreciation of art, history or architecture and their taste in food is markedly different to ours. Trust me, a month in Tuscany will be wasted on them. Take me instead. PH |
