“Propagation Progress"


Swedish Ivy growing strong!

 

            Two weeks ago, I pinched back Swedish Ivy, Pothos and jade to add to my outdoor plants. The Swedish Ivy, floating in a mason jar doused daily with morning light, grew quickly. I moved it yesterday into its own hanging basket. As the “momma” plant’s growth during the same period dangled new tendrils, I harvested them for another round of rooting in water.
            My Pothos sits on the dining room table where I check it daily for roots to signal they need transplanting into soil. I predict these cuttings will need into next week before they get their own pot. Grandmother’s crystal vase, which I use constantly for propagating Pothos, will receive a new clipping after I transfer its Pothos into soil today.
            The jade, pinched back and allowed to form a callus, sits outside already in tiny new pots. Establishing these transplants takes more time as jade has a slow growing attitude. However, my original plants show healthy progress with new, small promising buds.

Slow growing jade shows progress!
