Growing mint from cuttings
I'm trying to grow some mint from cuttings.
Mint is /supposed/ to root easily - but I'm having some problems. I've tried putting the cuttings in water, but find that they wilt faster than they take up fresh water. I have some rooting powder - but it doesn't seem to make much difference. My cuttings came from a local fruit shop. Though they look fresh enough, it seems /possible/ that they are too far gone by the time they reach me. It does seem like a good strain of mint, though ;-) Any advice? -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ Remove lock to reply. |

Without that, it probably won't be easy. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
