Tell me everything about rooting cuttings!

once you get a few older cedar trees established you can have a nearly infinite number of baby cedars for regrowing. over the years here we have probably grown out hundreds of tiny cedar trees and either given them away or even sold some of them, plus we've used some of them to plant out to cover the gaps in the pine trees that are getting taller and more leggy.

the downside to cedars though is that the deer and rabbits will graze them during tougher winters so you get some pretty funny looking cedar trees.

If plant starts from cuttings are grown in water, the roots are water roots only. To implement cuttings to soil conditions while in water, each day or two add a tablespoon of sterile soil until the transition is completed to all soil . This will facilitate plant starts to grow efficiently in soil pots or garden soil.

Whatever these are, are growing.



Idk how people bottom water....dry soil refuses to absorb it. From the top, there's some pressure and it finds paths through.
Anyway, the hedges are very happy.
