The bag thing. I use a big zip lock bag and put a couple of cutting pots in the bag then water them, then close the bag up. BUT when there is just a little of the bag open I blow up the bag so it will sit up straight then zip the last bit closed. Now any water that evaporates will condense on the bag and run down the sides and be soaked up by the bottom of the pot. Obviously the zip lock seal is at the top for this method. Bag coverings in general really help cuttings or just make it easier for us I suppose.

[@LearnToGrow1]

Thanks for sharing. I like your ziplock idea!

Hi Yes remove the bag as soon as it roots. You can also start the cuttings outdoors, in part shade, just keep the evenly soil moist, and make sure the soil drains well.

Thank you! I have tried to grow some suckers from a friends plants and the leaves dry out and they are gone so quickly. We grab them already with a little but of root and I dipped on root hormone powder, added phosphorous (i believe) in the potting soil and they died. Do you think that if I just eliminate the leaves, use the bag, my suckers will grow roots? Or should I cut the broken roots off (they break as we pull from the ground)

Hi, I am trying to find any info why are you cutting the leaves as well with scissors? Top of the leaves I mean. I've seen this done everywhere but not sure why it is done? Thank you!

The bag helps to prevent water loss through the leaves and pores from the stem. Too much water loss will dry out the cutting.

[@LearnToGrow1]

Hi Bay Leaf is a perennial so it will not die.

[@donsherbs]

@Lora The bay tree's shoot tip develops a stack of reddish-brown buds with bud-scales (which at a glance could easily be misinterpreted as a flower structure) just prior to a burst of rapid *vegetative* growth, i.e. stem elongation, of that tip. Not a big deal that you pruned it off and thwarted the tree's plans to grow more, but don't do it again. :) I haven't had my indoor bay trees flower before, but a Google image search suggests that the bay's flowers start as little balls at the base of leaves near the ends of branches.

So, in Vancouver BC, taking clippings in May/June, bagged, rooted by Aug/Sept and transplant to individual 4" pots un-bagged. I'm guessing they can't be hardened off and transplanted outside in the ground until the following spring or what would be recommended? Many thanks!

[@LearnToGrow1]

Hi Chris, If you live in a cold climate where winter temperature is below 0 degrees F , then wait to transplant outside in spring. Bay Laurel is supposed to be hardy to 0 degrees F. If you decide to plant it out, do it 6 to 8 weeks before your first frost date. Otherwise wait and overwinter it till next spring. If your climate gets colder than 0 F, you need to bring it indoors every fall. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching! Misilla

Hi, from Germany. Thank you for your instruction. May I ask a questions? Why recommend the bottom slank cut? This advice exist in Germany for Roses in a vase. Allegedly a bottom slank cut increase water absorptive capacity. But how should it works even though the watertubes in the stems have a smaller diameter than the port diameter? Watertransportation in a plant works with capillary force independend the port diameter. A mystery to me. Please let me say a scissors squeezes, a sharp knife doesn't. So a knife is better to took a cutting. Laurus nobilis is diecious. I'd like to gain advices about the different.

Hi, I learned propagation in college for horticulture. They taught us that creating a angled slash cut is the easiest way to differentiate between the bottom and top of a cutting where buds aren't immediately visible. Where people do thousands of these a day looking for a slash cut is simpler than looking for buds if you forget the cuttings orientation.

Can i use root growing hormone and how much time its takes to develop roots with rooting hormone?

[@LearnToGrow1]

Hi Yes you can, but I don't use rooting hormone and it took over two months to root during the winter months. It may root quicker for you with rooting hormone. Thanks for watching.

[@rohitagarwal3589]

So is there any time till we should the cutting in the plastic bag

[@LearnToGrow1]

Once they root you can remove the bag. You can gently pull on the cutting to check if it has rooted. It can take up to 8 weeks. You don’t have to place a bag if you don’t want to, just keep the soil moist, but not soggy. Thanks for watching! Misilla

So cutting the tips of the leaves prevents them from drying out? Confused about the cutting of the leaf tips.

[@LearnToGrow1]

Hi Rose, yes reduces the surface area that water can evaporate of, since the cuttings don’t have any roots yet it’s most likely to dry up quick.

no rooting hormone? no heat mat?

[@LearnToGrow1]

I didn’t use any rooting hormone, but it’s a good idea to and I placed the pot in the warmest room without heat mat.
