Oddbean new post about login | logout Can arrive help me with #gardening ? I'm trying to root #rose clippings and #lilac clippings but it's not working (I used rooting powder). I think I don't have proper drainage. I think I need something to put my pots in to something so the holes aren't blocked. What can I use? What's it called?
@849aaf43 I root out cuttings by trimming off most leaves and cutting the few that remain and sit it in an Indole-3 Butyric acid+water solution with some superthrive and leave it in for 15-30 minutes. Then I stick it in a closed pot with damp perlite (no pests/worms/flies/rot while maintains even moisture). And then put it in a warm place. It will take 2-3 months to root out. For temperate species, you’re more likely to have success if you make the cutting in early spring. https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/media_attachments/files/111/072/371/916/503/252/original/83cd126ada386293.jpeg
