Propogation


Question
How do you propogate a Lady banks

Answer
Lady Banks is very easy to propagate because she is such a strong grower. Take about ten eight inch cuttings from the ends of a cane that has flowered this year. Cut the dead flowers off the ends and then take all the leaves off except the top two. Cut ten because a few make not strike. Then place the cuttings in a sandy type soil or you can buy soil for starting seeds in packages from a garden center. Place them in an area that gets sun but not hot afternoon sun. Keep the soil damp but NOT WET or you will suffocate the tiny new roots. When you see nice strong growth coming, then you can give them liquid fertilizer for house plants at half strength Now you place them in all day sun. Leave them in the containers until they are really making lots of growth and then plant them outside or in larger pots.
