I use rooting hormone if I remember. I have 2 old aquariums in
which I put about 1/2 " of vermiculite. I use potting soil or perlite in pots or six packs, I have very good luck with this method. I put glass on top of the aquariums, leaving it open at one corner for ventilation. I live in Phoenix so this doesn't work when it gets hot unless I move them inside. I have a lot of fun with this. I also start seeds this way though in this climate, it is usually easier to just plant them in the ground unless they take a long time to germinate.

I have read that honey is great to put on the freshly cut stem of a plant for helping the new cutting to root out. Blessings,

Starting Plaints from Cuttings

To root plants or trees. It is best to start with new growth from the plant, (the soft stems). I dip them in rooting hormone and then a flower pot of sand. Keep moist and in the shade. Water daily when needed.

RE: Starting Plants from Cuttings

I never use anything on cuttings I root, I have good luck just sticking them in a pot of dirt, keep damp, for a year then transplant them where I want them or give them away to friends. I root a lot of fig trees, roses, etc. Good luck. (03/31/2009)
