>>607210Thing is that buying flowers and stuff ready is so cheap, almost no one wants to go through time-consuming hassles.
Anyway I'm experimenting a little ATM with cloning mostly ornamentals (for all except one I'm trying with water glass, no hormones), results so far:
>Lantana camaraNo sign of root formation yet after 6 weeks, one of the three cuttings dried up
>Cherry plum (like them for their very early flowers and very late leaf drop)No sign after 6 weeks
>ivy (some variegated cultivar)Worst experience, no sign after 4 weeks but got infected by some mold (again), tossed them. Put other cuttings directly into the ground where I want them to be, let's see how they'll develop
>tomatoes (trying to get 3 or 4 over winter inside as an admittedly challenging experiment given our lack of light)Good root formation on most of them after 10-14 days
One of them is planted in a pot for 3 weeks, has already gone from ~20 to ~40cm height, gotta see how and when to prune to keep it contained, or even re-clone
>PrivetOnly some white "blobs" a couple mm thick on the submerged stems after 6 weeks
>Common figNo sign after 3 weeks
>Laurel cherryTiny but widespread root formation after 3 weeks
>Real laurelNothing yet, as expected after 4 days
>OliveNo sign after 2 weeks
>Rosemary (pic related)Normally a plant I have trouble with, but nice root on some of them after just 10 days. This was the only one I directly put into soil in small plastic shot glasses (+extra lime)
