Vines and Climbers: How to root passionflower cuttings, 1 by Flicker

Lav Ldy is easy to root. And a young bloomer. I hang a 4" plastic pot with lite soil from the trellis with an orchid hook. Get rooting powder. Do not cut the piece from the vine--but count 5 nodes in from the growth tip, pinch off the leaf, scrape very lightly on the bottom of the node, dip the scraped area in rooting powder. dig a little ditch in the soil in the pot, lay the powdered stem in the ditch, cover with soil. Use a rock to press down on the planted stem. I leave the rock in place. Water slowly and often. using a plant starter solution is good. Rooting takes about 3 wks. 90% success on easy vines like this one. Some like Lady Margaret are seldom successful for me.
Also, if you buy clear dixie cups-6 oz- to use as a plant pot the new roots will be visable as they grow!!
