Hiya
I have made some cuttings of my geraniums, fuschias,osterpermums, nemesia and busy lizzies. They are all rooting well in the conservatory. I have bought a growhouse, (small plastic four tiered 'greenhouse' - different shops call them different things), I am going to put a hat on the greenhouse as I have seen a fleece cover for it at £2.99. I am on the south coast, Bognor Regis, so mildish here I guess. I am going to anchor the growhouse to the ground in case it decides to go off on a trip with the winds. My question is: Do you think the cuttings will be ok outside in the growhouse once rooted, do I have to water them. The busy lizzys look a bit tender to go out there, I could keep them indoors as they are quite attractive house plants. The only problem with keeping any cuttings indoors is the little black flies which really annoy me. |

It might get a bit cold for the busy lizzies and geraniums Fuchsias it depends what varieties Osteospernums I have found fairly hardy. Placing you grow house against the wall of your house can sometimes help because a bit of heat seems to leak out through the bricks. (mind you our house is 100 yrs so no cavity wall insulation etc. Gill M |

Hi my view is that the little plastic greenhouse will not provide any protection at all for the cuttings particularly the Busy lizzies, Nemesia if we get adecent frost. The Geraniums, Fushia can be lightly watered wrapped in Newspaper and stored in a frostfree environment keep an eye on them and keep the soil/ roots damp. Take cuttings once the growth on the Geraniums etc has started in early spring, but this will only happen if you give them constant heat and TLC The walls of a building will offer a little protection from prevailing winds etc and also heat from the day as the temperature falls in the evening again |
