A descriptive journal of hydroponic gardening projects; this blog replaces a paper journal, and is intended for my record keeping purposes. It is not intended to teach hydroponic gardening, but is rather a record, including editorial comments, of what has worked for me. Copyright © 2019 Hydroponic Workshop Weblog - All Rights Reserved.

Taking a shortcut
Today I started a clone of the calceolaria plant, which will be placed alongside the mother plant in the ebb and flow system. It should be interesting to see if the cutting develops roots and grows to maturity. When I started the plant from seed, it was months before the seedling grew to the size of today's cutting.
The mother plant continues to bloom, and there are literally dozens of seed pods forming. When the pods have dried I will break them open, then, hopefully, collect my seeds.
The seeds for this plant were not available locally, relatively expensive, and difficult to locate, which makes seed saving an attractive option.
