Re: Clerodendrums

Hello plant wizards-

I have had a clerodendrum ugandense and clerodendrum 'shooting star' (can't 
remember the species) but this one has the foliage that is dark (olive green) 
on the top of the leaves and a purple on the bottom of the leaves.  In the 
past two years I've taken many, many cuttings at different times of the year 
and have been unsuccessful in rooting them.  I have used 50% perlite/50% 
vermiculite and sometimes 33% perlite/33% vermiculite/33% peat.  I have used 
a misting system over them to keep very moist and I have tried to put the pot 
in the ziplock as a mini greenhouse.  I have even tried layering the 
ugandense and after one year I only acheived a huge calace with no roots.   
Has anyone had any experience with these or can anyone provide any pointers.  

These are beautiful plants and I would like to make additional plants to 
share with my neighbors and to place in other parts of my yard.

Thanks
