How to Propagate Abutilon longicuspe
The delicate bell-shaped blooms of the flowering maple, Abutilon longicuspe, whispered a silent challenge. Seed propagation, a tempting gambit, proved a frustrating failure; its tiny seeds stubbornly refusing to yield new life. Yet, the scent of damp earth and the soft friction of rooting hormone on a semi-hardwood cutting promised a different outcome. Each carefully prepared cutting, a tiny gamble against the odds, became a testament to patience, a hopeful prayer whispered to the soil. Success – the vibrant green of nascent roots pushing through the medium – was a small victory, a potent blend of hard-won satisfaction and the quiet joy of creation.
