Van Belle on Gardening Ail About Cuttings' The one that is the most What are cuttings, cuttings widely used is the softwood are a piece of a plant that does cutting specially for indoors, not have roots, they can be and then we think about the divided into groups, softwood geraniums, Ivy's and other cuttings, hardwood cuttings, houseplants, that can be leaf cuttings and root cuttings successfully propagated in this way, by. the softwood cutting method. Select the mother plant, -n where you are going to take Mk- -ýeýý-Zë the cutting from, that it is disease free andaper healthy, since you needt a good cleancutting to obtain the~ best results, now when Isay a good can cutting, this does not man that you have to wash te cuttîng, but that the utting appears healthy, with god strong leaves. Cuttings ae mainly taken from the se shoots of the mother 't flnt, take a sharp dlean knife ad cut off the cutting as close tthe stem as possibie, then mke a fresh cut at the bttom, make this cut on an agle, 50 that any excessive misture will run off the bttom, and no rot will set in. Ty to have the medium where yu are going to "stick" the etting ready so that the I.. ,wV "It ï ffep lc cutting wîll not dry out, then "ick" the cuttmng into the ý4 edium with about two-thîrct ofthe length of the cutting on op of the medium, and firm in !W te cutting by pressing down othe side with your fingers oa blunt object can be used. Different medium dan be ued, and what wiil work for oe may not work for the next prson, water, sand, peat- moss, perlite, vermiculite or a cmbination of these have' ben successfullv used. my on preference for softwdod uttings is using perlite, and my main reason for this is the t7 fct that it does not become ïj sggy, it will let some air tough, and it can be easily hndled. Keep in mid though 4,J tat the dîfferent plants could rquire different medium i.e. te geranium does real well in sand-peat mix, but for the bginner 1 would suggest the ýîîprlite medium. Different con- taiers can be used, plastic fts or pots or plantboxes or NCESSION ST. ay container that wîhl hold te medium, with flats prob- aly the easiest since then you ýA "tick" the cuttings in a row ad start a few more. There Ss7'. 50s is a peat pellet on the market called the Jiffy-7, which you can use to start the HWY. 401 cutting, but be careful with overwatering, since the peat will hold the moisture. To speed up the rooting process, different hormones are on the market that can be ued, these are available from yur local Garden centre or Florist. It is a powder sub- sance, in which you dip the utting before "sticking" it in te rooting medium. Watering ivery important, neyer oerwater, rather use the mist system, by spraying the fiage of the cutting with a mister, to keep the leaves turgid, this should be done at least twice a' day for the first week. When the cutting bas developed a healthy root system, probably in about two ýe othree weeks, it can then be FI 1 tansplanted into a proper soil mix, either in pots or in flats again. 74 -,Most houseplants can be sarted this way, such as geraniums, ivy's, impatiens, philodendren, begonia's, peperomia's etc. Past President of McLaughlin Gallery Honored The Robert McLaughlin Gallery honored retiring president Ted Samuel of Bôwmanville during a directors meeting last week.
