Cloning other plants?

My girlfriend likes to keep a garden, and in it is a plant that would be perfect to disguise my crops. I also noticed there's a pretty good one growing near my spot, but its too big to dig up and would be too big anyway.

Can i clone them the same way i clone cannabis? Both of them have similar structures as cannabis: including, growth pattern, leaf pattern, branch type, and similar soft green stems/branches.

If not, how else could i use these plants. Neither of them i can move, but i can get cuttings/trimmings...

what you describe sounds like a Cleome. would realy need a picture of said plant so i could be indentified and correct infomation given. but only one thing too do and thats chop a cutting slap on so rooting hormone and see if it will take.

does said plant flower ? if yes maybe you could harvest the plants seeds once pollenated

Hell yeah you can clone it the same way. We do it all the time...shit, sometimes we break off small branches while at the garden center and bring them home instead of spending 70 bucks on a tree.

Fuck yea!!! ... Screw buying a plant when you can just take a cutting! I have a whole lot of Peperomia around my house that were all propagated from leaf cuttings I took at garden centers lol - What, they going to charge me with theft for taking a leaf? hahaha

Ask your g/f what the plant is called, this could come in handy :eyesmoke:

So i could do it with just one leaf? Or would i need to take a branch?

Depends on the plant. Different plants have different requirements for propagation, but the safest way (as it covers the vast majority of plants) would be to take ripe, semi-ripe, or softwood/greenwood cuttings - Which is generally the type of cuttings you take when cloning Cannabis. Most plants will root from these types of cuttings.

Peperomia are leaf cuttings because they don't have branches, they're just little clumps of leaves and flowers spikes basically, hence why you have to either take leaf cuttings or divide the clump when it's large enough.

Another quick tip: Plants don't 'clone' as easily if they're in flower. Creating roots and and creating flowers use basically complete opposite hormones (layman's terms) ... If a plant is flowering, the last thing it will want to do is grow roots, you can take cuttings of plants that are flowering for sure! But they usually are harder and take longer to get to root. If you do take cuttings from a flowering plant, remove any and all flowers and flower buds from the cutting material so, hopefully, it will revert its hormones from flowering to root development - This hormone reversion is one of the main reasons why flowering cuttings take longer to root.

Hope that makes sense! :)

Dude I think a ganja plant would stand out in a bush of those in the pics.

You think so? The pics of the first plant don't really do it justice. I swear, when i saw it my first reaction that it was a pot plant. But when i looked at it i realized that it wasn't. I'm gonna grow out like 10 clones of the first 1 at each of my outdoor plots, to cover like 2-3 monsters. If i create a perimeter with these and they get decently big, then it should camo my plot alright...

I see what you mean, the only characteristics that give it away are the serrated leaves & the full green colour. Then again it depend on the strain that your growing, I was picturing hiding my Blueberrys (dutch passion) in those plant. Give it a go & post pics we'll play spot the difference he he he.

Not sure what that first plant is ... The second plant is Helleborus (Common name: Hellebore) ... Helleborus don't get taller than what you see in that pic. They're low growing, almost a form of ground cover, often used in woodland style gardens. They generally flower around Autumn/Winter.

To propagate Helleborus you have to either sow seed or divide the clumps. Leaf cuttings won't work and they don't have branches to take cuttings from.

Hope this helps :)

Is it a small "tulip popler"?

I'm not 100% sure to be honest, but it very possibly could be a species of tulip tree. The leaves look quite a bit different to tulip trees though. Maybe juvenile leaves, or a less common species of the same Genus or Family?

Some species of perennial Tagetes (Marigold), at a distance, look very similar to Sativas. If you were to use those you would however have to keep them clipped or the bright yellow/orange flowers they typically bare may draw the eye of curious passers by lol
Tagetes also are very aromatic and have qualities that help to keep insects away, it's like pest spraying without the pest spray haha

It's a bleeding heart. See those pink heart shaped flowers in the upper left corner?

That plant will die back by mid summer. It's a spring flowering plant. I plant them among hostas so when the heart dies back, the hosta is there to take it's place.
