bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - Q: Branch cuttings can grow roots??????

I am fairly new to bonsai myself But when i heard about propagation from cuttings. Of course i tried it. I stuck a cutting in water and a cutting in soil the one in the water Quickly died, probably a week and a half later, But the one in soil was still very green and still felt strong. as with the one from water i just eventually broke it down and pushed it down in the water, now whatever i cut, i just throw it in there too... i dont really know why. But The one in soil has been in for ... about a month now and since its still january i knew it only to be an experiment. But i pulled up the stem and looked and there was quite a big bulge and the tip

Maybe this means roots might come out, Or maybe because i just pulled it up they wont grow now, I guess ill just find out in a couple more months when i stick the plants in separate pots and place them outside. ill have to check then.

i recently bought some Clonex red, i only bought this kind cause it says its more potent and also was only a couple more dollars... And also a root riot plant starter

Just somethin to mess with i guess. Maybe get a couple little trees started hopefully, but who knows. like i said, Just an experiment.
