Propagating Snapdragons
Sarah just lately found that snapdragons may be grown from cuttings.
Taken in spring (or autumn to over winter) lower 2-5 cm of stem above a leaf node. Place in heat damp compost. The slicing will probably be true to the guardian plant.
That manner you’ll be able to preserve a favorite plant going for years! Sarah has this beautiful pink snapdragon, that has good darkish new foliage, I stored on taking tip cuttings of this magnificence final spring, says Sarah, and have fairly just a few duplicate vegetation to position throughout the backyard.
Whereas snapdragons are moderately cheap to purchase as seedlings, and just a little gradual to develop from seed, they take fairly shortly by cuttings.
