ali-s Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Can Carnation cuttings be planted straight into pots of compost? Do I need rooting powder (which I don't have)? They are sitting in a glass of water at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaime Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 My mum got some carnations from my sister in Jersey last mothers day. When they finished flowering she broke them into sections and just put them in the garden. Quite a few have taken and become little plants - just waiting to see if the flowers are as gorgeous as the originals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks. I will stick them in some compost The cuttings are from a bunch of carnations from a friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CannyCat Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks. I will stick them in some compost The cuttings are from a bunch of carnations from a friend I think (trying to remember my grandmother making cuttings...!) you just need to make sure there are no flowers or buds on the bit you stick in soil, or all the energy will go into flowering instead of making roots...
