Ensure good ventilation when using boxes or trays. Fill boxes or trays with sphagnum moss to increase humidity and prevent cuttings from drying out. The shorter the length of storage, the better. Storage of cuttings can be difficult and should be done only if necessary. Propagation structures Propagation beds should be located in full sun with a suitable well-drained medium.
Place beds either on the ground or raised above the ground.
Construct propagation frames from good quality, new, treated wood. The frame bottom should have crosspieces for supporting heavy-gauged wire. Place hardware cloth over the wire. A well constructed propagation bed will help reduce insect, disease, mouse, and gopher problems. Rooting frames should contain a heating source.
