Tell me everything about rooting cuttings!

Idk what this plant is, but trying to root it.



And my hedges are growing new leaves! A plant that's almost guaranteed to root, just like willow. Lol

Mulberry cuttings were done with willow. I think I'll get some and chop it up to add to these.
Hope some make it, need mulberry up here.


Plus the dark shrub. I forget what its called.

Hello.
I use attached stem technique. Take a long stem from the shrub. Leave it attached to the shrub.
Remove leaves in the area that will lay smoothly on the soil next to the shrub.
The leaf nodes is where the roots will form.
Cover with soil next to the shrub, place a rock or brick over the top of stem to keep the soil and stem in place.
In a few weeks check for root growth. When roots have formed along the leaf nodes then you have several plants growing from each node.
Cut between the root growth areas. Plant each root section in good potting soil or plant directly in garden.

I also use damp moss on trees and shrub branches for air rooting.
Remove leaves. Wrap that section of the branch with damp moss and cover air tight with plastic. Secure with rubber band or duct tape.
Keep the moss under the plastic moist. I use a syringe to add water without disturbing the wrap.
After a few weeks cut the rooted sections from the branch and plant in the garden or pots as needed.

Of course this depends on growing zones and good weather conditions or over winter in protected area placing a bucket over the section rooting. Check for dampness don’t allow the stem to dry out . By next spring the roots will be ready to cut and plant . Softwood stems works best.

Was time to move up the wee plants!
Freshly rooted got potted and covered.
Previous ones got covers off.
Then pottwd hedges got their big pots.
There's a whole process, as the rose cuttings died when I rushed a bit. No new rose cuttings rooted, so none of those here. Just a tropical shrub and pine used for cut flower fill.
Also shown are the fresh pine cuttings.


Ignore the peace lily, it's a hot mess....

The cuttings look great. Your green thumb is excellent.

I found out pines and such can be rooted...

The ones that came with cut flowers rotted.
But the ones I took from my green giants are now rooting! Don't have to buy more at $17.50 a plant! Endless supply of privacy trees!

Jan 10 to now, 4 weeks to roots!


These are from flower bouquets. Two types of plant. Idk if I've previously IDed them.

People on FB are claiming they've never heard it was possible to root these...odd.
Root progress-


And the hedges are dark green and pretty. Unlike the peace lily disaster of a plant behind them...but, w/e.


And the asparagus ferns are doing well after their repotting.

You are much more ambitious than me!
This year My ambition is to prune up the volunteer juniper (?) or arbor vitae (?), it's one of those 2, that is 6 ft tall and growing along the east fenceline of the north pasture.
I'm gonna have to cut it down anyway before it interferes with my fencing, so I thought it would make a very nice 2025 Christmas tree once it has been manicured.

Trimming tree limbs that hang over the pastures and hopped out of the woods thruout several areas and the wild blackberries is finally completed. With the limbs I made a rough imitation of deer fencing to stop the deer form entering the garden from the woods. Lots of holly seedlings and other small trees. Young Doug fir and alder trees were also cut down and used as deer fencing crowding out other trees . It’s done for now ….but… it will all grow back…an endless stream of growth crowding out several areas of the pastures on three sides.
