Gardenia Cutting

While I'm visiting my brother in law, their gardenia plants full of big awesome blossom, smelling so damn good..... really make me jeaulous ! I have gardenia plant also, I bough last March and so far she's doing good, right now have alot buds and will blomming soon, but they flowers smaller... and even I still love my gardenia, I want have their gardenia plant too...
She's beautiful plant, isn't she ? :0)

Sound greedy huh ? :0) But even I want that plant, for sure, they will not give it to me :-D.

So I asked for only 1 twig with 1 flower on it, about 10" and I keep it fresh until I'm home. After back home, almost midnight but I need to do it soon, yeah... I'm want try to rooting it !

I cut the twig by 3, removed the flower and leaves from the lower one, dipping on rooting hormone and insert the cutting in moist and well drain soil. Maintain high humidity by covering the pot with a bottomless softdrink jug or by placing the pot into a clear plastic bag .

1 of 4 stem has rooting at all nodes, strange huh?

After about 2 weeks later, it's start rooting.... Whooho...! Now I have 3 more Gardenia plants... all of them still so tiny, will take times until they flowering...
