| I have a viola cutting in a homade pot that I use
for cuttings (it`s just a pot with-in a pot w/an air stone and clay pellet medieum.I put the cutting in hormone,plant it and cover it w/a plastic baggie. It has been there for about 2 weeks and is doing fine.(new flowers and all)But when I tried to take off the bag the plant wilts and falls over in the matter of minutes. really. I did this twice. It comes back to life when I put the bag back. How am I supposed to harden off when it wants to die so fast.Am I taking the bag off too soon? also, is viola a annual? The kind I am growing has yellow,purple and black flowers I dont know the varity. thank you. |

| I propagate violas by separating the offshoots at the roots, and planting the tiny, whole plants. I don't think cuttings are the way to do it, but I may be wrong. Some violas, like johnny jump ups, are self seeding annuals. Sounds like you have annuals, from the colors. Collect the seeds and propagate that way. |
