One of the secrets of this technique, a very sharp cut without squishing or you get nothing but cowboys. I use sterile play sand in the middle, the fine grains keep more moisture and less air from the cutting contact area, then it grows out into Perlite & Peat. After doing close to 1000 cuttings, I am amazed at some of the results, I use grow lights and heat mats too, that helps with the success and speed that the cuttings root.

Seedling cuttings are definitely in my opinion the best for growing Shohin especially. Thanks for commenting

@DarthMasiah Ай бұрын

last year i had fairly good success cutting about 10mm from the needles. 24 out of 30 made it.

That’s very good! Well done. You’ll get some great Shohin from those.

What a great video thanks Terry. I have some JBP and scots pine seedlings that I germinated in the spring here in the UK. they are doing nicely, but I'm wondering if I could use this technique on some of them next spring when they will be just over a year old?

@TerryErasmusbonsai Жыл бұрын

That’s a great question Tony! I don’t know for sure. I would try it on a couple and learn from it. That’s how I learn too much of the time, sometimes things work and other times it fails.

Generally speaking, how long does new root growth take after sticking the cuttings? 4-6 weeks?

@TerryErasmusbonsai Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question. Yes within that period for sure. Depends on how strong the seedlings were when you did the cuttings, the rooting hormone used and how they were cared for. Movement of the cutting by wind will greatly retard any development or even kill the cutting.

Do you use the same method on mugo and scots pine seedlings? Also on japanese larch?

Hi Ben, thanks for the question. To be honest I’ve not grown any of those species you mention. However I cannot see why you would not be able to use the same process on them. The benefits would be the same.

@TerryErasmusbonsai Жыл бұрын

The technique of making cuttings of seedlings should work on most plants in my opinion. You’d just need to figure out when the best time is to do this, perhaps you will see a change in the bark colour and texture too although just different to the pines. I have done this with Celtis sinensis and Chinese maple. Yes I use fungicide every 2 weeks to prevent “damping off” of the seedlings. I also spray foliar feed to make the seedlings nice and strong before doing the cutting procedure

Hi @@TerryErasmusbonsai , is there a fungicide you’d recommend? And what color of trunk should I look for when performing same technique on red pine? Thank you in advance

@TerryErasmusbonsai Жыл бұрын

Mmmm. Good question. To be honest I don’t work much with non grafted white pine. However in theory I suppose you can do same. In fact you should be able to do same with all species of plant provided you do at the right time.

@tonimagery Жыл бұрын

Hi, thank you for the video but forgive me if this silly question for I am quite new to propagation. I don’t quite understand the purpose of this technique. Why do you cut off roots from a a seedling to try and re-root them?

@TerryErasmusbonsai Жыл бұрын

Hello and thanks for the question. Please watch the video again as I do explain why and use an example of a tree grown in this method. If you still have a question then feel free to ask.

@svenschroder6197 Жыл бұрын

Hi, nice Video, i found Out that watering after placing the cutting into the medium can be very important. By doing so you eliminate any air pockets in the area of the Cut where the roots will then come Out.

@alexhobbs2226 Жыл бұрын

Hi Terry, I just have a question regarding the medium you used in this video. Would a Silica fine grain of 0.5mm - 1mm in size be appropriate for adding in to the center of the pot? Thanks

@TerryErasmusbonsai Жыл бұрын

Yes it will Alex. The sand I used was too coarse. It still worked but I needed to be super careful to protect the cuttings from wind which could spin them. Finer sand provides more resistance so this effect is less.

@DarthMasiah Ай бұрын

i had the best looking roots so far sifting a perlite/vermiculite mix below 1mm. particle size matters. the roots were able to extend freely without too much resistance through the light substrate, which i thought made a big difference from heavier substrates ive used in the past.

Well done for testing things and finding what works for you. Sounds like a good solution.
