I wish that I could fit the whole thing as it is into one picture, but I just can't.
This is one plant, in the pot with the coleus. It grew to cover this whole area and then some. It just did wonderfully here and I have enjoyed it so much this summer.
I decided to try to propagate some to have for next year so that I don't have to buy it. One plant runs about $2.50 to $3.00 for a 4 inch pot.
I read that you could propagate them by making a cutting, removing the bottom most leaves and sticking it in a jar of water.
What could be easier?!
So I took five cutting from this vine and put them into a quart milk jar and waiting until the roots were about two inches long and then transplanted each one into a pot of potting soil and put them on my counter behind the sink.
I know they like a lot of sun, and this window is just above where the vine grew all summer.
Have you tried to save money by propagating your plants? I'd love to know how you made out or any tips you might have, leave me a comment.
