I have had success propagating many plants in water but Lantana has been a headache, I have seriously tried at least 10x and today, for the first time ever I see roots!!!
I had tried a different method I saw here tying it to a popsicle stick with a string, but I kept getting moldy water and no roots. Maybe I was doing something wrong, not sure.
What worked for me:
-Pick a very young cutting, mine looked green when I first cut it.
-Added root hormone, just a little bit.
-Remove any new growth or new flowers, and keep only 2 leaves.
-Put it in a tiny bottle, and ensure the leaves never touch the water.
-Place next to a sunny window.
-Wait a couple of weeks and voila!!
I have not even changed the water, I can’t believe I’m seeing clear water with Lantana, maybe because it is such a woody plant, the water used to look dirty in a matter of days, but somehow this just worked for me, I have not changed the water at all, just refilled when it started to dry.
