Maybe try something with a little captan or benomyl in it and don't keep the soil so wet. i.e. Lose the peat and anything else that retains water. If the mist is going you don't need to hold moisture in the soil Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?

Try to live a cut in a glass of water with some diluted hormone 10% - 20%. Im trying that now. __________________ Shibui

Rootone-F has a fungicide in it (not sure if it is captan or benomyl) But there are soil drenches that would be used periodically and separate from the rooting hormone.

Regards,

Matt

craig bonsaiTALK Craftsman Join Date: Apr-2002 Location: Northumberland Country: uk Posts: 72	hi alex i still havent had any success with my deshojos but last year i rooted some trident maples and some palmatums during the summer i was concerned when they went into dormancy as they were so fragile but i just left them to do their thing and they started to bud break in the spring so .i also had a trident maple cutting that i kept going through winter in a heated propogator when the warmer weather came i i gradually introduced it to a normal enviroment but it died .if i were you i would try leaving it alone just make sure it doesnt get too wet/ dryand it will all happen again in spring fingers crossed regards from craig

I think this gives a greater surface area for the roots to grow. Once the cuttings have taken however the seedling needs care for a few years, as I've lost quite a few up to 3 year old.
