Once upon a time, many folks told me that #lupines can't be #propagated by cuttings because they're very sensitive.
I decided to challenge that with #PlantPropagation experiments. I tried to propagate lupine cuttings in water, with rooting powder, with raw aloe vera gel & with raw honey & cinnamon. This is a successful new plant from honey/cinnamon rooting! I did it!
Some of my #nightshade#starterPlants - #eggplants & #tomatoes.
I was behind on seed sowing starts again this past Winter!
I don't transplant any nightshade plants out into beds/pots until at least 2-3 flowers appear on starters. That helps the transplants to do much better - they're stronger if you wait a bit longer to transplant out.
Our white #lilac tree is now over 8 feet tall.
I originally #propagated this from a small cutting, taken for free from a construction demolition site, 10 yrs ago.
It smells fabulous 🥰
