no new growth after root cut
Comments (1)patience, give em a few more weeks! When you repotted, did the roots look alive, healthy other than being too crowded? You could lightly scratch the bark on a stem and check for green cambium if you need to. Many have noted that fig plants have been slow to awaken after the bad winter we had....See MoreMy cuttings have rooted but no new growth at all.
Comments (7)I used regular miracle gro potting mix with nothing else added. I prepared the sticks by cutting them to 5-8 inch sticks and striping all but 2-3 leaves. On the limes i cut the leaves down to 1/3 of the original size. The trifoliate leaves i left whole because they were smaller leaves. 2 strips of bark were shaved off from the bottom up about 1/2 an inch. I was carefull not to cut into the wood at all. The sticks were dipped into this gel rooting hormone.The potting mix was thoroughly watered by soaking the pots of mix in a bigger container of water. I needed to do this because this bag had been sitting opened in my shed for over a year. Next i poked a hole with my finger and inserted the cutting about 2 inches deep and pressed the soil up to the cuttings. The whole pot was put into a plastic bottle cut in half and slipped back together. Its obvious what i did in the pictures above. Kept it covered the whole time except for when i opened them up to exchange the air about twice a week....See MoreRooting and growth of root cuttings of two old rose cultivars ‘Harison
Comments (2)I read a fair amount of this, then skipped to the conclusion. I have not tried root cuttings much but plan to. I have some hard to root varieties. It's a mystery to me why some are harder to root than others. I have a number of them that used to be easy to root and now aren't, such as The Bishop, Cardinal de Richelieu, and a very different one, Madame Alfred Carriere. This article mentions rose rhizomes. Is a rhizome just a thick root? Interesting that the cuttings were treated with fungicides. Henry, what is your personal method for rooting cuttings?...See MoreThree years growing roots, finally new growth from Hoya cuttings
