I bought a few, earlier this year and don't want to lose them all if we have a cold winter.

I’ve got a bouquet of flowers. It includes wax flower red and white, also statice (known as limonium as I’ve found out today) . Would I be able to take cuttings from them?
I’ll be try to take cuttings from the roses. They worked last time.

I'd try it SC! If you at least try, the plants have a chance of survival. In a vase they won't last long

Thought that statice were dried flowers not fresh once in bouquets?
Don't know what a wax flower is - sorry.
EDIT is it a Hoya? https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/8852/hoya-carnosa/details
If so, I've grown it from cuttings from a neighbour's plant. Kept it growing for years too until one year, I put it out in the garden for the summer and forgot to bring it in before the cold weather struck. Goodbye Hoya.

This is wax flower. Turns out it’s a type of shrub and has a different name.

That looks growable from cuttings ^^^
RE: Free Plants from Cuttings - Small chilli - 24-01-2022
The more I research, the more I think that as well.

I think wax flower is grown in Australia?? I may be wrong... I love it and looked at growing myself before. I think it needs temps warmer than we have.
Statice is an an annual - as VC said,it's probably dried? I would sow fresh seeds.

Time to wake this thread up again as I need to take some cuttings of various plants - sages, lavender, herbs, fruit bushes etc. Going to take a cutting a day - that's the plan.

Rather relevant thread to me just now. Where I walk Kato in two different locations I nearly get my eye taken out by a branch of Cotinus and in a seperate location an eergreen plant of some description. Sod it sez I, and snapped each of the offending branches off and have them sitting in a glas of water on the windowsill. In with them is a very small rooted sycamore which I pulled out of a gap in paving. The only reason I kept it was that it appeared to be a variagated version. The variagation may grow out, in which case I will bin it.
