    Hey everyone, I have missed you all, Haven't been on in awhile, Would anyone know how to start angel trumpets I am bringing them in and want to start some more , How do I go about this, how do I cut and start them? They got about 6 ft in just a few months, But I love them so I thought I would try and start them myself.
    Thank you all Margie :stew2: :-?

    margie, these are among the easiest of plants to root. Let the stem dry a few hours or a day to let the fresh cut dry out a little (keeps it from rotting) or try just fresh cuttings... either way, dab a little rooting hormone on the stem and put it in SOILLESS potting mix. cover the pot with a bag to keep the environment humid and set it on the heat mat, if you have one, and spritz the foliage every day or two to keep it from dehydrating and very soon you will get root nodes to emerge and grow. very easy! I had someone mail me a few cuttings and they rooted very quickly. It was one of the easiest plants I ever tried.
