| While transplanting some full-size trailing Supertunias today, I managed to knock off quite a few stems with blooms on them.
Is it possible for me to get these to root? What's the best method? Water in a glass? Oasis / wet florist foam cubes? Potting Mix / Perlite combination? How much of the stem should I put under the medium? Should I take off the blooms and most leaves? How long until they root? Anyone have any suggestions??? I've just got them sitting in plain water for now -- I was hoping y'all could help me out. |

| Apply 0.1% IBA (rooting hormone) stick in well drained soil & mist takes 7-21 days to root |

| Funny this topic should come up today. I was mulching around some wave petunias that had been planted for a month or more and discovered that one of the stems had started to root. I had no idea that you could root petunias! George, you are a plant propagation wizard! |

| Speaking of Supertunia. For two years in a row, one of my "Bubblegum" supertunias has dried up and died withing just a few days. Both times occurred in the window box while it's neighbor Bubblegum did fine. Has anyone experienced this and know the reason why. |
