Hey Sam...is the black basket in the background of the one in the white basket...the same one shown but backside. Of the one you shared in a black basket? It looks rather...interesting.

cuttings??? wow

y was planing in airlayering... but ffuuuu!!! that is amazing.

do you have a pic before potting them? (what do these look like under the soil level)

I've found bougies root much better as cuttings than they do airlayers.

this is completely new to me... I never knew a cutting that thick could root well.

Depends on the plant...bougie and ficus are easy.

Good to know! I might just reduce my bougie instead of chopping it down.

I must ask...have I seen your bougainvillea? As most know...I love Bougie's. I looked back at your posted threads...seen nothing mentioning them. So I do ask...if you could...create a post on your bougainvillea please.

This are all from cuttings taken this year...already flowering:
no rooting hormne...sand...and onion rubbed on them.

Neli...thanks for sharing. It always amazes me of ones having such access to bougainvilleas. As well as how easily they seem to root.

Pixie is 100% to root...the normal ones a bit harder...the ones on the previous page 20cm diameter are the normal....common bougie...it is grabra or grabla...

Those are massive!
any ideas on timing? I am kinda confused... I thought hardwood for winter, softwood for summer with leaves.

I might go this weekend or the next and get some pics!

A neighbour has a bougainvillea that has almost no green leaves. Do bracts do photosynthesis? Or how will this root? Do they come out later?
