My Grandma has this beautiful full bush that I believe is baby's breath and is in full bloom right now. Can I start some new plants with clippings or will I have to dig up some of it by the roots?
Baby's Breath Bush?
you should be able to start some new plants from clippings. Ask for rooting hormone from your local garden center. wet the ends of the clippings and stick in the rooting hormone and then plant in a pot filled with good draining potting soil. if you do this now, you'll probably have a good plant to stick in the ground in the fall. good luck.
Reply:Collect seeds. I've never tried rooting b breath from cuttings, may just do so with my pinks today. Depending on the size of the "mother" plant you may have success dividing the roots, but eek, would be scared of damaging grammas's plant.
Reply:Rooting the terminal cutting is effective but it should be done in the shade propagators, most effective is taking semi ripe roots from the ground and bury it in the sand with mild light and moisture under propagators it will work, and let me know.
Reply:dig it up.let it bloom and them after that cut it down. them it should bloom again.
this is done to encourage blooms since it only blooms once
