Question
I lost all of my landscaping from hurricanes a few years ago and am starting over on a budget.  I would like any suggestions for websites that demonstrate Florida landscape ideas with no grass ie low maintenance that also looks lush.  

I found some triple foxtails from a nursery going out of business and would like to plant sea grape at the base of the trees.  Do you have any suggestions on propagating sea grape with cuttings?  I have never done this before so I would need detailed instructions.  

I am most appreciative for your time and trouble.

Hi Hazel,
Here are some websites as you requested that are good for Florida landscaping.

This should give you a good start to get ideas for your yard.

I've not had any personal experience rooting sea grapes but here are some instructions.  Growing from seed is easy but it will take about 6-8 years to get fruit.

The cuttings are best taken from mature wood, not new growth. They should be about six inches long. When taking the cuttings, do not trim the leaves back as you normally would with other plants you're propagating. The tray with the cuttings should be placed in a shady area, and kept well watered. I would dip the cut ends in a rooting hormone and stick them about 1 inch deep in the growing medium which I would recommend to be warm, wet, sand.  Mist the seedlings 3 times a day or place the growing container inside a plastic baggie and keep it sealed and warm.  Also, the seedlings should either be kept under a flourescent light or in the shade if outdoors.  I hope this helps.
