I don't Believe it !!

Thats great Mushy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...its amazing how, in the throws of death, a plant can regenerate itself......magic!!...:-o)))))))))

thats great news mushy,, do you have to cut them off and pot them, hope they do well ;o))

What a lovely surprise Mushy, I had one too. My red cordyline is in a pot and I cut it down last summer hoping it would grow some 'pups'. It did, about 6 of them but I forgot to bring it under cover or fleece it overwinter like I usually do. I thought they would all die, being babies but no, they're all alive!! I've had red ones in the past which haven't made it through a normal winter so it just goes to show, you never know with gardening!

Good luck hope they do well.

Wonderful ! :o)

Wow, that's like my Arbutus, which I thought was dead but is now coming back from the dead! Amazing, I wonder what it will look like if they all grow, or even if some of them grow!

Thanks everyone will have to just wait and see ...o)))

As far as i know you cant because they come from the stem they have no roots ..
Unless anyone knows better and how to do it ...:o)))

ok thanx mushy, never thought of that Doh!

Mushybanna:

Large stems from this plant can be put in the ground and will generate roots. It's a very easy process. Here in California, it's very difficult get rid of this tree because of the gigantic carrot-like root...and they're pretty indestructible!

So do you just cut them off and out them in rooting powder ?

Mushybanna:

I've seen people cut huge stems and put them directly in the ground. They need little water...and they grow. Of course, that's here...not sure if they would grow that easily there. However, you never know until you try it. : > )

All species of Cordyline (as far as I know) grow very easily by cuttings.

I agree with Delonix about them being indestructable. We have been trying to get rid of our for the last 3 years as it was too big for the place it was in, but everytime we try it re-shoots again, so you can just leave the shoots where they are and they will be fine......I can assure you !!!!.........UNDESTRUCTABLE

Well done, now 17 new plants to sell on ebay!!
