Bouganvillea/a cuttings, transplanting, etc

 

I'd like to relocate our two bouganvilleas from their present loction.

I'v suggested striking cuttings and planting those out,but the head
gardener says that it is virtually impossible.

Looking for similar/contrary opinions and tips ifyou have been
successfull in the past.

T.i.A.

 


Virtually , I would say so, yes.
RAM which would be compatible being particularly
hard to find.

But in Reality?
Cultivated from cuttings/prunings many times over.
Another method I have seen occur 'naturally' is
allowing trailing canes to be covered with
the leaf and flower trash from the parent plant.
These strike in the ground and can be dug up
and planted. From this activity I would think
narcotting (air layering) might also be a choice.

soft tip cuttings will strike in spring, hardwood cuttings are more
difficult and prone to root rot but you should get a 2 in ten ratio to
strike, the softwood cuttings are much the better option and should get
u close to a 100% strike rate. if the plants are not overly large..say
less than 2m tall you should be able to cut back severely and then
transplant. it helps to push your spade to a depth of six inches or so
all round plant and then leave for a day or two to lesses shock. hope i
have been of some assistance cheers
