Thanks Stewart, watching from the UK. I love fuchsia’s and take a lot of cuttings. I do it the same way as yours. I had to make a shady area for them as my garden backs onto fields and there is no shade at all. My first tray of cutting got toasted, I soon learnt haha!! My rhododendron cuttings need the same light and shade and the plastic boxes are really good but they do breakdown after a couple of years. Many thanks for a great video. Just subscribed thank you.

And it is just not good to suck cuttings directly into the rooting powder either!

Can it be done with out hormone powder ?
@StewartDorman4 жыл бұрын
Jessica Tozer Yes, but, less will strike and it will take longer to develop a good root system. So maybe take more cuttings than you'd need to compensate. Cheers.

When do you take them out of the bin?
@StewartDorman5 жыл бұрын
When they start to show signs of new growth. Usually around the end of four weeks.

Why did you cut the leaf in half?
@StewartDorman4 жыл бұрын
To reduce transpiration. By reducing the size of the leaf by cutting it in half it reduces the amount of water lost through the leaves thereby reducing how much water is lost by the cutting and reducing the stress on the cuttings. Does that make sense?

Yes, it does. Thank you.

@StewartDorman4 жыл бұрын
Hi Chris, a poly tunnel should be fine. Cuttings can be taken from plump new growth early in the growing season. Usually Spring but if you’re in a really cold climate you might wait until early Summer.
