I did...I just tried this with two lavendar bushes. I did dip the stems in rooting powder, however. It's working great for one of the bushes (I took ten starts) and I'm not sure about the other one--a different variety. Some of starts have already died but I'm hopeful a couple will take. This my first try at stem-in-the-ground propagation (I'm sure it has a proper-horticulturish name).Quotidian Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621964632808884901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657212579203937139.post-40386832014220471602010-04-29T14:53:56.890-04:002010-04-29T14:53:56.890-04:00so true ... how many times i have wasted life aski...so true ... how many times i have wasted life asking Google a question that my elderly neighbor next door could answer in a flash ... <br /><br />Congrats on your green thumb!keLihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670877352311271564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657212579203937139.post-73313548030953464562010-04-28T23:22:25.701-04:002010-04-28T23:22:25.701-04:00Thanks for the comments, everyone!

you'...Thanks for the comments, everyone! I hope<br />you'll have the same success. I was amazed.<br /><br />JoAnn, I don't think camellia have a scent, not that I noticed anyway. And I'm not sure it will work for any shrub, but it's worth a try. P.S. Don't get caught ;)Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934973314360291318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657212579203937139.post-77061485207386674562010-04-28T13:57:55.765-04:002010-04-28T13:57:55.765-04:00Oh, I love the idea of a "jam jar garden"...Oh, I love the idea of a "jam jar garden"! What a super cool idea! If I ever grow any plants on purpose (I'm sticking to wild blackberries and long established pecans right now) I'll so put a jar over the baby plant just to see if a mini-greenhouse makes my growing a bit more successful...plus I need to learn to grow things successfully just as a general skill since grocery stores may not be around for ever.<br />And I didn't know that his parents built that house...I loved-loved their kitchen sink. I told Zac after I saw it that when we build a house, we are having a 1940's bathtub-huge sink.Niamhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657212579203937139.post-57803633154610533032010-04-28T07:24:12.510-04:002010-04-28T07:24:12.510-04:00Bodda-bing! :DBodda-bing! :DStephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657212579203937139.post-65154327787688062622010-04-28T05:02:22.042-04:002010-04-28T05:02:22.042-04:00Oh, I've so got to try this.

That's so cool. <br />Camilla, are those smelly (like in a good way?) because if they are I like them, I've only seen white though. <br />I'm doing a happy dance in my chair, because now I can sneak out at night and take clippings from my neighbor's plants. Is that allowed? does it work for everything shrub-ish?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00732203991908884482noreply@blogger.com
