Grant Meyer USDA zone 9 commented on Vickie Estep's group Propagation"Hiya Vicky and all,
Most succulents benefit from air-drying in the shade for several days so the cut end can heal over. Otherwise the open stem allows too much water in from wet soil and they rot. Over watering/rot are definitely the…"
Vicky Myers commented on Vickie Estep's group Propagation"Grant I'm curious as to why you let them dry, how come you don't just root tone them and stick them right away? I don't have a clue about the more cactus type plants just asking. I don't grow anything with thorns that hurt me.…"

Discerning Taste

As I wandered through my gardens looking for just the right spot to plant a new ornamental grass I’d acquired my gaze settled on an old patch of ditch lilies I’ve been meaning to replace. When we first moved to our home as a young married couple I was thrilled to receive a few free plants from my favorite aunt. Now years later I find that I can be a bit more selective having the freedom to buy showier plants to include in my repertoire.

Vickie Estep said… - I love to garden and watch things grow. I find my greatest moments of peace in my gardens so it is natural for me to spend lots of time there. I became a Master Gardener in 2006 and love it. There's nothing better then sharing my gardening passion with others.
