Description
PLEASE NOTE: We sell cuttings and bare root plants only. If you see a picture of a large plant in the listing it is for illustration purposes only and not what you will receive. Cuttings need to be placed in a container with water or moist soil till they root, bare root plants can be placed directly in the ground or containers and usually require daily watering till they are established. Some cuttings like succulents and cacti can be placed directly in the ground without rooting. Most cuttings do not have 100 percent success rate so we recommend you purchase a few to ensure success. Even some bare root plants will not give you 100 percent success rate after planting in the ground. Some plants are considered invasive in certain areas or provinces and the onus is on you to make sure you research the plant that you are purchasing to make sure it will work for you, your area and your landscape.

Chances of success of cuttings or bare root:
MED-HIGH. This plant is very easy plant to propagate and will root even by sticking a cutting directly in the ground. Purchasing bare root will speed up the process but is not necessary for success. If you want to save money and are patient then purchase cuttings rather than bare root. Cuttings root better in moist soil vs water but either will work fine. Water will allow you to see exactly when your plant has rooted so this method is usually preferred for most.
Place your cuttings in water or a pot with a free-draining medium like sand or a perlite/soil mix. It is important to keep the plant out of direct sunlight while rooting process is taking place. Roots will form in about 2–6 weeks, after which you can transplant them into soil, keeping it moist but not soggy, and provide bright, indirect light or put it in a location where it receives only morning sun. Water daily for the first 3 days after transplanting then allow to soil to dry out before watering again and start watering every 3 – 4 days till the plant is showing new growth then reduce watering to once a week vary sparingly and move to a full sun location. This plant is very drought tolerant and in some areas when it is established no watering is required at all as long as it receives rainfall occasionally.
