Cuttings In Water


Hello.

Cuttings in water is one of my favorite topics, because I somehow
simply do not have the ability to root cuttings in soil, never, not
once, no way no how, but even I can do cuttings in water for those
plants which will. 

So in addition to those I've previously posted about, the coleuses
(including Cuban oregano and variegated cuban oregano), mints (genus
Mentha), basils (almost all except camphor basil), Plectranthuses,
Salvias elegans and involucrata, Ajugas, scullcaps (Scuttelaria
lateriflora and some others), dead nettles (Lamium), Lamiastrums,
lion's ear, ground ivies (Glechoma hederacea and " " variegata, and
the many morning glories, and probably some others...

This year so far I've rooted Ipomea batatas "Blackie" (hence the sweet
potato vine is but another morning glory after all), Ajuga lobata, and
rather surprisingly to me, "Vietnamese coriander", a Polygonum sp.,
which seems to do this Very vigorously and reliably and is unlike some
of the things which are particular about recieving more light while
they are rooting (the fuzzier mints for example seem to require bright
places). I think the biggest surprise of all was Yerba Buena, Satureja
douglasii, I had all but given up on the Saturejas.

Have I missed any?

Good gardening,
