    Propagating Senetti's?

    My wife has recently bought some senetti's from the garden centre. We would both love a few more of them next year, but as lovely as they are they are quite expensive.

    I decided to look for seeds, to grow my own, but it seems that senetti's are grown from cuttings.

    Whilst I have grown lots of plants from seeds that I have collected myself and created lots more plants through division, I have never actually took cuttings or grown anything from cuttings.

    Considering this, I wondered if anyone has any experience of taking cuttings from senetti's for the following year and if so, could they talk me through the process. as I would love to try it for myself.


    Thanks for any help or advice you can give me.

    I would do them just like fuchsias. Here's an old thread which should tell you how: http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...mies_9617.html
    or good advice on various techniques from the RHS: Royal Horticultural Society - Gardening Advice: Propagating Tender Plants

                  What have you got to lose Andy, give it a go. Just cut a stem off the plant & repot it or put in a glass of water to see if it roots.

                    but don't take one with a flower or a bud on it (or you could, but pinch the flower/bud off) because the cutting won't have roots yet to sustain it.

                        These plants are actually perennials I am almost certain but not hardy enough to survive our winter. If you have a heated glasshouse it could rest there over the winter. Or inside your house if you have an appropriate place.
                        Reasonably easy to take cuttings -
                        Take leafy cuttings from new growth, a few inches long
                        Strip or prune off bottom leaves, leaving three or four at the top
                        Insert into moist potting soil
                        Place in bright but indirect light
                        Cover with a plastic "tent" or cut-off soda bottle to retain humidity
                        Keep moist, not wet

                            I have some Senetti that are 3 years old. I put the pots under the GH bench and the plants die back in winter. Some, not all, will shoot again in spring.

                            I'm going to merge these 2 threads for the benefit of the next person who asks the question!
