hardwood cuttings in bags to hold onto moisture

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

hardwood cuttings in bags to hold onto moisture. these are in tall pots on bottom heat, in my grow room at 22C. I started with elderberry, and also attempting some Ribes . Once they root I leave the bag on for a week just loosely on top and then monitor the leaves, once it’s off if there’s any sign of drooping it gets misted and back in the bag. Btw you can do the same with mist propagation, if your cuttings begin to wilt just put them back in the mist and they’ll usually recover and become turgid again. last photo is rooted elderberry growing fast. #propagation
