i broke the top 3rd of my plant off on accident--what should i do?:??? its about 15- 20 inch the wwhole plant i mean.

how clean is broken??? i'd shave down the broken part at the bottom with a knife like a clone i guess....Shave to a smoot angle, apply rooting hormone and hope for the best...as for the other part hopefully it'll act as if it was just topped...If you could post a pic it would be much more helpful...Good Luck though

i've read that you can cut it on a 45 degree angle just below the last node on the bottom and put it in water. change the water every day. i've heard of ppl clonin this way without rootin hormone. but you need to do it asap. good luck

how old is the plant?

 

[reapor]

i put it in a small cup of water. already but did not cut the 45 degree angle.. should i w8 until morning to cut the angle becuzz its dak outside and i dont want to show lite. but good lookin out. so do i eep changing the water until rooots appear or ?

o and the plant is about 2-3 m0nths old

 

[slowmo77]

ya. keep it changed untill you see roots. maybe hick will pop in i think he clones without rootin hormone, or you can use the search to find threads about clonin in water. good luck

Although store bought rooting compound doesn't seem to be overly expensive, most folks don't know that it can be toxic due to the fungicide included to protect plant cuttings from disease.

Just as in humans, hormones stimulate various functions in plant growth. The first hormone discovered to cause root growth is called auxin, and the synthetic version of auxin is what we find in commercially sold compounds today.

The willow plant is a natural source of auxin. Therefore, it can be very easy to make up a fresh batch of homemade rooting compound whenever you need to plant some new cuttings.

Gather a handful of willow branch tips


Chop or mash into smaller pieces


Fill small container with pieces


Fill container with water & allow to sit overnight


Remove willow pieces


Dip cutting into the water, covering the stem


Put cutting into your potting mix (or moist sand)


Cover with a plastic bag to retain moisture


After roots form, re-pot
Also, don't get rid of the willow water when you're done with your cuttings. Save it to water your plants!

If you don't have access to willow, dissolve a few aspirins in a jar of water. Aspirin is made from willow bark, so it can have the same effect as the willow water.
