Don't throw them away

Use glass jars to propagate fushia and impatients, which happily root n water.

When there are enough roots [ie the roots have filled the bottom of the jar] simply divide the stems from each other. Plant  out.

Recycle and increase.

Make extra plants through taking cuttings.

• Trim off much of the greenery as this enables the roots to have a chance of growing without over stressing the plant..
• Place either straight into the soil or into small pots, glass jars or disposable containers until the cutting is ready to be placed into it's final position.
