The butts of the cuttings should not touch the bottoms of the frames. Press the medium around the base of the cuttings. Failure to do so will cause the cuttings to dry out. In the Pacific Northwest, cuttings are usually stuck, or inserted, from January 15 to March 10. Water more frequently when the leaves have developed.
Full sun is best for growing quality plants.
Growth During April and May, vegetative buds will produce leaves. By June, the roots begin to form. Fifty to 98 percent of the cuttings should root. The period of May 1 to June 15 is critical for root and foliage development. After roots and foliage have developed, increase ventilation and apply fertilizer.
