That video you are referring to, was about three years ago and was called: "How to propogate bonsaï & make cuttings". I learned a lot from it, even after many years of having bonsaï and taking care of them. I can really recommend that video! Following the ideas and instructions from especially that video, I was so successful that I ended up with far too many little trees: azalea's (also satzuki's!), japanese maples, junipers, honeysuckels, and so on and so forth. Even untill today... Propagating your own little trees, really adds an extra dimension to our hobby. Apart from keeping our hobby rather cheap...

Thank you Peter, for sharing another on rooting cuttings. I've learned that many of my cuttings have been too thick. I've also not been patient enough. Well...the family hasn't been patient enough. I've also not cut the leaves back enough or left too many. Again, thank you for sharing what some would call "repeats" video. It helps us beginners to keep experimenting.

Peter, I have had some success with thicker cuttings when I regularly spray the cuttings with a foliar feed, it seems to have enough nutrients to keep the cutting going, sometimes for months or a year! , until it finally puts out roots

@MAMLeers Жыл бұрын

By the way: personally I make a little hole before I insert the cutting (and close it after planting). Doing this, I prevent loosing almost all the rooting powder when I insert the cuttings. Just a little tip perhaps...

And they took and my mom gave me two cutting of her plants and I repotted them and had a strong root system and lots of follage. Thank you for your lesson Sincerely Patricia Ann Griggs 🌿🌿☘🍀🌱🍃🍁💚💚💚

So glad you said pine wont root. I guess harvesting those odd seedlings growing where they shouldnt is the best option then. They are about 2 years now and quite tall, maybe 12 inches. But not much branching yet. Also some cherry trees, and holly that already has an interesting bend because of snow weight, I guess. They wont ever be straight upright trees. I got 2 so far.

I have done cuttings with various types of house plants but never with a tree. A friend has a very old ornamental Japanese red maple that I tried to root cuttings from but they did not take. I wonder if this is because the tree is so old? It is starting to look a little sad. We are having a bad drought this summer so it looks even worse now. Will this effect the success that I may or may not have this year?

Advice needed, I can’t find this info online. I started growing some birch and apple trees this spring from seed. they’re in a porch, the temperature is a bit more like outdoors compared to if I had them in the house. They’re doing well but still small, with thin, delicate trunks. Question is, when would I want to be moving these trees outdoors, and how should I go about doing it? So you know what the climate is like here I live in north England. Any comments, if you could point me to helpful videos or articles this would be much appreciated, thanks.

I had a question about trimming the photosynthetic material back before planting the cutting: I understand the reason for that, but my understanding was that the growing tip was the source of auxins and other natural rooting hormones in the plant. Wouldn't we want to leave the growing tip at least and trim around it so the plant can promote it's own rooting, even if using rooting powders/gels?

@peterchan3100 Жыл бұрын

I prefer to prune the tip off so that the cutting becomes bushy.

From my experience (indoor plants) you must keep them moist but not wet. To wet will cause roting or mould. I have good experience puting a transparent plastik bag on the pot, if the inside of the bag is wet open the bag and let air come in. This also keep the humidity in the air high and prevent the cuting from drying out.
