Approximate Time: 30 - 45 minutes (depending on how many flowers you need to root)
Supplies:

Instructions:
- After enjoying your fresh flowers a couple of days, take them out of the vase. Cut the ends off of each flower.
- Fill a flower pot with potting soil, make a hole for each flower you have in the soil.
- Take one flower at a time dip it into water, then stir end in Shultz Take Root powder. Remove excess powder by tapping on rim of the container.

Does this really work? I would love to know if it is just for certain flowers. I love daisies. How beautiful they would be in a flower bed or pot? Enjoy your summer!
