Lots of successes today in Sekka Hinoki, Kingsville boxwood, and Satsuki Azalea. Everything is protected still under my shade/wind structure.
My Kingsvilles have been wild. I took the cuttings about a YEAR ago and some are just now putting out roots, and I’ve still got about 5 that are alive but still have no roots!
Japanese Maple cuttings continue to be the bane of my existence.

I know right? It hits every single time lmao, for me it’s addicting ngl I gotta stop
Fingers crossed my Hinoki cuttings work too, I just did like 10 lol
That’s pretty badass.
Me too! I cannot seem to throw a cutting away either!
Great job!
I have a trident cutting that just took along with Suriname cherry and many ficus!
I’ve had so little success with cuttings of any kind. Air layers I can knock out left and right. I think I need a mini greenhouse or something to baby the cuttings until they root, or maybe it’s my substrate, or timing, or any number of things.
What’s your favorite rooting hormone?
Can I ask what the white stuff on the plant is?
We have had success with late winter cuttings on JM and mid summer (but need a lot of protection) just in succulent and cacti mix with rooting gel the gel we use is what I have heard Americans call 8% we are a naturally fairly humid area
Sekka is frustrating overall for me. Got one last fall and it’s grown absolutely none this season.
