Gardenias

[aykhan]

Beautiful bloom Izhar. Any recommendations as to when is the best time to take cuttings? Lahore climate is a little different than Karachi. After the current bloom is over we will have very high temperatures in May, June and mid-July which willlikely not be a good time to take cuttings? The starts the humid monsoon which is probably better. Any advice?

Monsoon is the best time for taking cuttings, nowadays Karachi's weather is pleasant and the forecasts indicate that it will remain till next month, that is why I am planing to root some cuttings, I have already successfully rooted brugmanisa currently..
