Brian - TheGardenVoyeurCuttings after sitting in a darkened room overnight to reduce stress, are now under the lights. Only half the bulbs turned on. These are the ones we used rooting powder on. #gardening
Gunfight Poet@TheGardenVoyeur is the key to keep any cut in the dark for a period before exposing to light ?
@gunfightpoet i find after the trauma of the first cut if they go directly into light it stresses them out and i lose them quick. Usually some time in the controlled easy environments acclimates them better in my experience

Have you ever tried and/or had luck with willow water as a rooting agent?

@Invisiblyillin i haven’t tried or heard about it. I’ve only done straight tap water, soil without rooting agents and skill with rooting agents. Tell me about it

Sorry for the delay in responding. I’ve been pretty debilitated/crashed the past few months and haven’t been able to handle social media.
Basically, soaking clippings of live willow branches in plain water yields a substance that promotes root growth and can be used to start clippings of other plants. I’ve used it and found it to work well. Here’s more info https://deepgreenpermaculture.com/2010/12/15/home-made-plant-rooting-hormone-willow-water/?amp=1

@Invisiblyillin Glad to see you are back then. Hope you are feeling better. As for the Willow, I wish I knew this before we lost our willow tree years ago. This would be a fun experiment

Maybe something to keep in the back of your mind in case the opportunity presents itself. 🙂
