can I root branches from a crape myrtle?

1 Answer

Answer :

Yes, if you first soak the ends of the branches in sugar water, 1/2 cup sugar/1 gallon of water, for several days prior to re-introducing the cut branch back into the soil.  Prepare the soil by adding shredded newspapers and some calcuim (best found in stale milk and egg-shells); when you plant the cut branch into the soil, besure to sink the stem down at least 4", water once daily and provide moderate sunlight; you should see positive results right around 2 1/2 weeks, do not introduce miracle grow until after the branch has been in the soil at least 5 days.
