Not bad for a cutting
 

Hey.....I got a cutting of a mirabilis about a month back and i totally forgotten bout the 2-4node cuttings stuff....And this time he cutting has 5-6 nodes...I never thought it would survive and root but today i checked one of the cutting has made root although all the leaves have dried up..Its just 1 stem with a growing point lol...And very little roots..Its a miracle hehehehe..*biggrin2* Looks like i will have a mature mirabilis in a couple of months time..

Glad to know that your cuttings have grown roots.
In your experience, how long does it takes to mature ?

Ken, I also have mirabilis cuttings I completely forgot about. Until one day when I traced a tiny pitcher back to the source *biggrin2*

To answer your Q aice,in my experience of propagating gracilis stem cutting,it takes about a month to grow tiny shoot on the internode,another month to grow leaf from the shoot,another 4month for the plants to grow large enough to be repotted or change its location.
