A few years ago--some strong winds blew over my big Ric Rac HB and broke off about 1/3 of it. I stuck the whole chunk of it in a fresh HB--and it rooted and grew and grew.....to the one I now have. I gave the Mama plant (that this broke off of) to Rawlings Conservatory where it happily resides on top of a cliff above a good-sized pond in the Mediterranean House. Last summer--the wind blew over my rather tall Brazilian Plume Flower sitting on a small table on my patio. Broke off every single stem to the bottom. Nature's pruning--that's what it is!!. it is now re-growing nicely and is blooming at this time. next year it will be a nicer, fuller plant because of this accident.... Here it is in bloom....the plant is only about 10" tall , but with multi stems.... Gita |
