Re: Succesful Clerodendrum rooting

George-

Of course I took more cuttings of the Clero quad. (about 10)--what I will do 
with these if they are all successful, well I guess I will have to think 
about that next spring.

I was so excited when I saw the root from the quad that I let out a small 
scream (LOL)....the same type of scream I do when a huge frog surprises me.  
The kids came running into the greenhouse because they thought I found 
another frog. :o)

I did take a few more cuttings of the ugandense and these were from new 
growth.  At this time I'm not  willing to sacrifice my blooms so the cuttings 
were taken from some of the lower branches that were pruned a short time ago. 
 I cut all of the leaves off except for the new, smaller leaves and put them 
under the mister.....so maybe this will be the time I have success.

I've recently acquired two new clerodendrums - nutans and minihaus.  These 
are not quite big enough to take cuttings from (unless I want to sacrifice my 
winter blooms) so next year these will be my focus.

Again - thanks for everyone's help.....all I can say in addition is "oh what 
a feeling"

Happy gardening
