+Jeff Pebbles thanks for watching. I have one more this week

Thank you for watching.

Thanks for watching

Indoors or around 70-80 degrees.

This is an old question but others may be interested too. What my mom taught me to do for just a few is to get an old flower pot. The 3 gallon size like you buy plants in from Lowe's or other garden center works great. Put your potting medium in about 1/3 of the pot deep. Prep your clippings and stick them like he has done here. Don't forget to moisten the soil and mist them after sticking. Then get a white kitchen garbage bag (still lets light in) and sit the pot inside, then close up the top of the bag with a twist tie or something that you can take off to mist the cuttings every so often. Place it in a shady area outside where it will still be warm but not in the direct sunlight and be sure the top is pulled tight so that it doesn't sag down inside onto the clippings. After about 3 weeks I start to open the top on mine for an hour or two a day to let some fresh breeze in, then close it back up. You will start to notice new growth when they have rooted.

+Tim Goodin 6 weeks is about right.

ozz mann just do not fill the cells up with the dry peat moss)))

Starts, I would probably protect from staying frozen for a long time. Once established, they are super cold hardy

Why would you do that? He just gave you a system that works and you want to change the ingredient mix. Have at it. Hope you have lots of blueberry plants for cuttings. You'll probably need them.

Perlite is basically a product used to drain soil. It lets the water drain out. Peat moss once soaked holds moisture and could get a little clumpy. The combination of perlite and peat moss is likely an ideal combination of both water retention and drainage. I am no expert so just my two cents worth. With only perlite there would likely not be ample water available to the plant. Terry

No expert here but to many leaves would most likely be stressful on the plant and lower its ability to root. Terry

A tree would be fine. Just no direct sun on that box or it will cook them. The fabric bottom is perfect for drainage.

+buna rith check them yes. I will only water every few days. To much water would be very bad. Keep it moist not wet

hi, i'm in the same position right now, what did you do in the winter, did it work?

I actually pulled them out on my backyard plant propagation series. Episode 14 I think. They were rooting but not ready to come out yet

+northernpike56 they will root before fall, but I don't transplant until the following spring.

How do you over Winter them?

......

northernpike56 ..

Wet ssndblsst

It hasn't been that long, but since it is so late I would make changes. Perhaps cutting them in half and doubling the number of cuttings would be advisable. I would want more heat on them at this point, so maybe try and get a little more early and late day sun on them. I think they would be better under plastic, but be careful not to heat it up to much. I don't know how far north you are, but if they had already started to go to sleep that would lower your chances.

I grow raspberries. Every summer mew plants grow where I walk down the paths. It would be easy to dig a few up if the neighbor would allow you to do so. In one year you will have berries. Terry

I meant to say persimmon

+remanosh If they are rooting now, just leave them in place for the winter and transplant in the spring. I have had blueberries take several months to roots before, usually from plants that aren't very vigorous. Make sure you add fertilizer in late winter on the plants you are taking cuttings from later in the year.

I have done it with one I made. The problem I found was keeping the top end as responsive as this method. It seems to me that the stem and limited leaves left intact have more to do with growth and regeneration than what goes on in the root zone. As far as keeping the plant tissue alive long enough to get root formation anyway.

I dont do blueberry cuttings until mid June, so it shouldn't matter at that point

Like 3 to 4 years

@@j.armstrongsr.7009 No that's probably for normal fruit trees, bluebberry cuttings could produce one year later only if given the right soil and sun exposition

Jeff Davis No, not male and female, but many need cross pollination with other varieties.

why arent they?

The following spring

they never rooted, i didnt use rooting hormone

+joelyboyblue now is the time

HortTube with Jim Putnam awesome thanks Jim

I did a series on building it last year called backyard plant propagation. I have restarted this year building a bigger house

Jim, If the temps are in the mid 90's should I bring small fresh blueberry cuttings that I am trying to root inside. I do have them in full shade.

G'day the cuttings need to be in a humid place with at least 4 hours of sunlight from what i've heard in half shade

@@chara173 awesome thankyou!

@@adamschulze2734 No problem mate!

It needs an acidic pH, so I'm not thinking it well root well in just plain water .

With Blueberries I generally see roots within a few weeks, but I overwinter them before I pot them up

@@JimPutnam Ok, thanks a bunch! I'm new to this stuff and decided this year I wanted to try to make more from the bushes I already have. And maybe I might get more berries instead of the birds leaving me what they see fit. haha!

It's volcanic rock. It's main purpose is to supply oxygen to plant roots and it also helps with drainage.

Yes, there are organic rooting hormones. I don't have any experience using them so I can't speak to their effectiveness. Good luck with your project.

search diy willow rooting hormones pretty easy to make just whizzed up willow branch and water if i remember right

You can use honey or cinnamon

i would pull off any blooms you see on the plant until its large and full, creating fruit requires a lot of energy from the plant and the yield will be small anyways.

+Molly Salout I would think in the late spring when the new growth is hardening off

I open it up every few day and evaluate whether to water or not. Usually no additional water.

+Michael R Exactly the same. No difference at all

organic .. no chemical only natural feed or fertilizer..

if it couldnt, how did it first start?

Kay, Say 10 Cups of pearl lite to 10 Cups of pearlite.

@@ilovehorses5714not using perlite?😬
