Hi, I wasn't successful with the layer method, and didn't try a cutting.
The potted plant has been blooming for the past month at least.
Better than the one in the ground, even though it gets less light.

If I was going to propagate it by cuttings, I would try dipping the base
in a rooting hormone, and use 1:1 perlite & peat moss, and put it in
greenhouse. I'd try it with or without the hormone. I use a powder,
and also Dip n Grow, which is a liquid. Just experiment. Smiling

Good luck. Thumbs up

BTW, would you like some iris plants? They grow 7 feet tall in water,
and have yellow flowers in the spring. I have to thin them out, and
hate to throw out viable plants.




Thanks for the tips! I'm gonna try cutting in the 1:1! Thanks for the iris offer, I have one though! I'll keep you posted on my cutting
Thanks again
