12/8/11: - Still looking healthy, none lost yet. Some additional growth on several of the cuttings of each variety.
30/7/11:- Again all looking healthy still in the shade and being kept cool.
27/7/11:- All cuttings are looking very good and healthy. Keep them cool and in the shade all the time.
24/7/11:- Having been reading Ken Pilkingtons "How to Grow Fuchias" book I ventured into taking some cuttings and experimenting.
Two plants, Harry Gray and Gillian Anthea (Pictures to be put in the flowers section soon). I also planted some of the seeds, just to see what happens.
A selection of cutting sizes was taken from each of the plants and a compost mixture (6 parts compost, 1 part sharp sand, 1 part vermiculite). The compost was well moistened and each cutting had hormone powder dabbed on the end and placed in the propogator. This will be kept in a shaded part of the garden.
I will update on progress.
