BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Container Gardening Growing plants from cuttings?

Hi All!

How many pots and containers do you have on your balcony (etc)that you started from somewhere else ... like your Granny's garden, or a Mom's day present or 'pinches-and-gives-and-swaps' from a passing garden or a nursery or a neighbour or friend's garden? Perhaps you have a bulb or two that just keeps on going year after year?

I have several that are extra precious to me for sentimental reasons, and though I care for all my plants, these get extra attention as I would hate to lose any.

If you do propagate or extend your garden of pots and containers this way, which plants have you found to be the easiest to grow?

I have found sticking a piece of geranium or ivy in a glass of water (placed on a sunny windowsill) the easiest to root then transplant. They grow so readily.

Cheers
