Looking for gardening wisdom ....
I made some cuttings from my moms honeysuckle vine..She has passed now over 10 years ago..she had some land with s small house and garden..
The lot is now overgrown with nature's trees and vines but I stopped by the old place and seen that my moms honeysuckle was still growing after all these years..So I took some clippings from the honeysuckle vine and have them in water jars now. It was been two weeks and I see no sign of root sprouts ..is it possible to get these cuttings growing ? Here in the mid west the temps are going down..if I can get roots started I will pot in soil and keep in doors with SE exposure...any help is appreciated .
Thanks..dewayne47, OFallon , Missouri

If you can get some more do that and put them in soil instead of water. Woody plants like that do better rooting in soil than water sometimes. And it takes time for roots to form. If these don't do anything go back in the spring and get new cuttings from fresh growth.

In my efforts to get honeysuckle cutting to root.....now in week three I see new growth from buds off woody stems but no sign of roots in water.
If I switch to rooting in soil , should I remove all leaves from cutting in order to force roots or new growth.....any advice will be helpful ..thanks in advance
