I don't really talk about my Poinsettia a lot. I don't find it very interesting. Nonetheless, in my last entry, my Poinsettia has recovered and was doing just fine. I decided to try and propagate it by stem cutting. I took a healthy stem with leaves (about 5-6 inches) and planted it in rich garden soil. I think I tried growing it in water before and it didn't work. Will the soil work?
Well, the cutting wilted in a week. It was like the life was drained out totally. That was fine. It happens right. But guess what? The entire stem (or stalk) and all the leaves where I took the cutting from wilted. In about a week, the entire stalk was dead! The sap leaked until half of the plant just died. Well, I guess I'm not doing that again. Tsk.
