how to root succulent cuttings
857880
I'm not an expert at rooting succulents however on the times I have tried,I simply put them in loose potting soil and kept them moist. I did not use root hormone but it most likely would help. After they "took" I moved them to the area in the planter where we wanted them and again put them in a 4-6 " dia.. hole in potting soil and kept them moist.Once they take,they are very sturdy but for some varieties you need to watch either extreme sun/heat or extended freezing in the winter.Check with your garden guides.

Just saw this. In case others have this question: See my note on basil cuttings - tomato cuttings will often just root in room temperature water, change the water every few days with fresh, room temperature water.

You can sprout them in a wet paper towel between two plates or use dirt plugs. Keep them moist at all times.

There are rooting compounds used to root cuttings, but this can be used in watering during rooting to enhance the rooting.

I use it to root in a humidity dome, then plant in soil. works great for both seeds and cuttings. stays moist, sometimes too moist if you mist too often.

yes, but research where to cut, how long, ect ect i believe you only can clone a new years growth anything older might not root fast enough to support itself

i guess what medium your putting em in would be the biggest factor to that i would think if your going to dirt that the more root the better . To hydro just enough to get started ~

I have tall ones, about 1 to 1 1/2 ft., and they don't spread out much at all. I haven't had much luck trying to cut and root them. But they do bloom all year here in California. I do have one short one, but it doesn't spread out either. Hope this helps.

They come with potting instructions. I planted the stock in Miracle Gro cactus, palm and citrus soil in a 6" pot. Watered very well. Did not water again until the soil dried out. I plan to repot them to a larger pot later on. I have read they will maintain to the size of pot they are planted in. All four of mine are doing very well.

I wouldn't let them get root bound in the thing but I don't see why not. They are supposed to be better than regular pots...so if dwarf fruit trees do well in regular pots. Id transplant soon after the roots hit the sides of any pot.

Assuming you have already grown the herbs to a decent size in the small provided pots, I recommend the following: 1. Use a knife along the inner edge of the pot to loosen the soil. 2. Gently pull from the upper edge of the soil, and lightly on the herb itself to pull the plant with roots and soil out of the small pot. 3. From here, place the plant in a larger pot and fill with more potting soil around the roots. 4. Water with 2xs water since you have added it to a larger planting of soil.

Basil will root in a glass of water - cut non-woody stems about 6" long and trim the leaves off off the bottom 3 inches. Put in water (you can put 5 or 6 of these in a drinking cup) so that it will cover where the bottom leaves used to be. Change the water every 2 or 3 days - use room temperature water. They should start growing roots in a week or so. When the roots are about 1" long, plant so the stem is buried and just the leaves are showing. You don't need this to root basil. Basil, mint, lemon balm and many other plants will root in plain water. Good luck!

I cut the bamboo, and apply it to the cut stump. It always works. I haven't tried applying it to the roots, but it should work if you cut the root and apply it where you made the cut.

I would wrap roots in paper towl and put the roots in the water. I waited about a week.before planting mine they are doing good in the house. I live in Michigan and the plants were blooming I didn't want them outout side because they would go dormant.

These plugs are great for a starter kit...can even be put in a small dixie cup...You want to water from the top because they are root plugs...you trying to get the plant to root As far as the transplant...just transfer in the root plug to your dirt or planter n it breaks down into soil. ..love these

No let them get rooted first after 2 months u can feed them i recommend the liquid miracle grow sometimes the shake and feed doesnt work as well usually on the leaves it will burn them that's what i experienced it's a little more but better results good time planting :-)

It doesn't hurt to keep them in the cloner until they have a good root system. Your plants will take better to replanting if you wait.
