Daphne - Propagation

Dec 03, 2006 2 Replies

Hi GG's



We had a REAL HOT SPELL a month or so ago and the Daphne [Daphne Odora Alba - "Star White"] was knocked about a bit. It lost a whole heap of leaves, but, it is now coming back.



Where the leaves fell off, multiple new growth is developing - very slowly! As this is a hard specimen to find, I'd like to risk an attempt to propagate it.



Daphne are notoriously fickle plants and I don't want to kill the plant we have, just to have the cutting not take either.



I need your help! What is the best way to propagate Daphne from a cutting?


Where do you live? They grow like weeds here. Seattle area, You can buy a nice 1 gallon plant for less than $10 here. Not worth the effort to porpogate them. I can steer you in the eright direction if you need contact names

I just pop a few pieces into some moist potting mix. At least one should grow, if you keep it moist but not wet. And you've still got your original plant as well.
