The $1.00 Treasure...

[TooCoys]

My $1.00 treasures have about doubled in size, and the cascade is blooming again. I also have cuttings from each of them that have survived and apparently rooted.

Nice find. You may be able to plant some in your yard if you're in Texas.

I went and did it again.

Went to a different Lowe’s today looking for another, and this one was the last. It was up near the register and on clearance for another $1.

I really wanted to do an upright like Nigel’s, and this one seemed like it would work.

I repotted both in 6” clay pots, with a mixture of potting soil, peat, vermiculite, and sand. 1/3 of the bottom filled with pea gravel, and 2/3 soil mixture. I wired this one upright with some small training wire.

Took the three cuttings and stuck them in soil too. Hoping for roots!

the cuttings will root. I've taken bare woody branches and stuck them in pots and they grow easy.

Oh they're rooted. They're already putting out new shoots and leaves.
