Question

If you pick a flower and plant it in the ground or a pot will it grow more flowers?

Answer 1

I don't think so, without roots there is no way for the plant to feed.

Answer 2

Probably not.

Flowers aren't grown from other flowers, usually--they grow from the seeds the flowers produce, (and only ripe ones), from root cuttings taken from the parent plant, or root stock--the entire root mass dug up from the ground.   It depends on what type of flower you want to grow.

Answer 3

You need it to root first.  It's a gamble, but the easiest way to do this is to place the flower or cutting in a cup of water, somewhere where it'll get light and not be disturbed--a windowsill is usually good.  

Only some plants will grow roots this way, and the conditions have to be very good--most flowers, for instance, will die long before they can root.  Vines, however, are very good at rooting.

Answer 4

It would have to have roots in order to grow more flowers. Depending on the flower or plant, some can be rooted from a stem, or cutting. You can place some plants in water, and they will root. Some would need special rooting powder to root. It depends. :)

Answer 5

No.

Answer 6

If the flower is an annual, (i.e. sweet peas)  you will have to start with seed, or starts from the nursery.

If the plant is a perennial, (i.e. geraniums) you can break off enough branch to include several leaf junctions with the stalk.

Strip the leaves off the bottom 4 inches of stalk, moisten and dip that end in Rootone (tm) (found at your nursery) and put it in a pot of Miracle-Gro (tm) soil.  Keep on a patio or someplace where you can water often and monitor the start, and you will probably end up with a nice plant.

Good luck!  I do this with branches of my house plants that my cats have chomped on.

Answer 7

no, you would have to dig up the roots and transplant it to your location of choice.
