My First Cuttings

I took some cuttings from my Fuchsia, Lavender, Potentilla and Cosmos this morning. It’s the first time I’ve done this and followed Carol Klein’s instructions from the latest issue of Gardeners’ World magazine. I just hope I’ve done it right and they start looking healthier soon!

Thanks to both :) Terratoonie, I have read your blog with interest, I plan to leave the cuttings as they are but will certainly try the rainwater method in the future, They look a little healthier this morning :) Mobee - good luck with your first cuttings :)

Hi Emma ~
I also start cuttings in compost... found it works well for roses in particular. The rainwater is just one more way to experiment ! Lol.
