| Water cuttings from sweet rocket |
These are some cuttings of sweet rocket that I took a few weeks ago. Of six cuttings I took, four have developed tiny white roots, quite a result! Two of them are doing really well - you can see them in the photo: they have green leaves, and one of them has even flowered. I like the decorative stand with the glass "test tubes", it looks pretty on the windowsill while I'm waiting for the cuttings to grow new roots.
Today I decided to plant them outside. but to minimise the shock (these have been in the kitchen window for weeks now) I covered them with a a half plastic bottle. Hopefully they'll take!
Estos esquejes de hesperis matronalis los corte hace unas semanas, y han estado en la ventana de la cocina hasta hoy. Este soporte con los "tubos de ensayo" es muy decorativo, y hace bonito mientras espero que los esquejes echen raices. De los seis esquejes que corte, cuatro han echado raices, y dos de ellos - los veis en la foto - han echado hojas tambien, y uno hasta tiene una flor!
Hoy los plante fuera por fin. Como llevan en interior varias semanas, los cubri con una botella de plastico cortada a la mitad, para que no sufran demasiado con el cambio.
