I have not had any luck propagating Pericallis spp.(Cineraria or Senetti hybrids) using cuttings etc. Since they are a hybrid the seed produced will not be "true". As of now get seed...... Do not cover the seed soil temp 70-75F & takes 10-14 days to germinate expect 24-28 weeks to flower...

i have finally had success at raising senetti cuttings!!!!
i put them in a propagator with the lid off.i used rooting gel,kept them in shade & the compost moist-after 2 weeks i then placed them in the sun & they are growing extremely well.out of ten i only lost 2-so thats an 80% hit rate.

Hi

I have just purchased 3 of these plants and within hours of planting out I have a horrendous skin reaction. Is this Normal? I would like to propogate these gorgeous plants but not if this is the result.
