Propogating Clematis

[Zaf]

Anyone know how to and any tips?!!

Mum just takes cuttings and pops them in potting compost and puts them in her conservatory.  My Montana that grows over our archway was a cutting she grew for me.

I'll give it a try, I have two that will have to be moved later in the year so thought I'd try to get cuttings in case they dont survive it.

My mum does the same. In fact that seems to be the approach she take with all cuttings  :)

[Zaf]

Lets hope I've got green fingers like both your mums!

Lol my mum is the same Buttercup, there are always cuttings in pots, most of my plants in the garden come from mum.

I'm still waiting for my carnation (pinks actually) cuttings to root...... the cold weather has really held them back. never tried with clematis, I might give it go

[Zaf]

Thank you :)  the weather certainly isnt helping at all this year

Any idea how long they take to root - not that I'm impatient or anything

I will ask mum when I see her in the morning Zaf and let you know.

Thanks shaz, I potted them up last weekend and most of them look quite healthy so far :)

Sounds like they should be ok by the sound of it, but will ask her tomorrow.

Thanks shaz, I keep peering at the bottom of the pots hoping to see roots but I know its too soon, patience isnt one of my virtues!

Mum said when they start sprouting new leaves.  All cuttings of clematis are different, she just pots them into bigger pots when then start to sprout.
