Help pleas with penstemon cuttings
Being a fan of penstemon I took a number of cuttings earlier in the
year. They took and seemed be healthy. However when I transferred them from a gravel based medium to peat a lot (not all but about half) did not survive. I was pleased with the original take but not with the potting on. Any suggestions please as to where I went wrong? |

Any suggestions please as to where I went wrong? I took a lot last year in B&Q Peat Free Verve compost with just added vermiculite for rooting. I think I waited for potting on in the spring into the same compost without vermiculite. That seemed to work well. Perhaps too great a change in media ? |
