One more way to save money when using your garden planters and containers is to take cuttings from your chrysanthemum plants as they grow in the Spring . Cut 3" tips from the stems with a sharp knife and place them into your potting mix with sand in a small pot. Replant into larger pots in the Fall and then of course, into the garden for next season.

I take cuttings of lavender, rosemary, various leggy house plants also for planting-out or planting-in. If they are slow to root I use old plastic salad containers as mini greenhouses to help them along until they root, or place the pot in a plastic bag. Have to venilate occasional to help keep the air circulation going.
