🌷New Series | Garden Tips | Favourite Garden Tools | #GardeningX | Propagating Petunias.

I’m joining with some of my fellow gardeners from the #SixOnSaturday group to bring you a new series of posts that will include some easy plant propagating ideas and conversations about favourite gardening tools.

Fellow gardener and #SixOnSaturday blogger Sarah who gardens in South Australia, joins us today with a propagating tip. Sarah blogs at RoseGardenConversations

Propagating Petunias.

Petunias can easily be taken from tip cuttings. Choose healthy plants and in spring cut a stem 5-6cm long above a leaf node. Strip most of the leaves from the stem, then pop the cuttings into fresh compost, keep them warm and damp to allow the new roots to grow and establish.

The cuttings will be true to the parent plant. Taking cuttings will produce plants quicker than growing them from seed. This is an easy way to increase your flowering plants for free.
