I'll start by welcoming myself
Just kidding. Anyways, I'm new here and to propagation, but have taken care of a garden for most of my life.
I have rooting hormone now, although I have not used it yet (as it is a violation of federal law to sell plants made with it). I am propagating to fill some nice planters I have made to include in the sell. So, I am on my second method (described below) to work around this issue.
I am currently replicating blue junipers, and am attempting to root a fukien tea (and succulents) with cinnamon and chopped willow leaves. Before I tried sugar water and wet soil, but all I could do was make most of my cuttings rot. I took my remaining plants and am now trying to use willow leaves/shoots and cinnamon. It has been 3 weeks (including the sugar water days), and I have no signs of roots for anything but a couple of the blue junipers.
What else can I do for the succulents/bonsai?
I would use rooting hormone, but I plan to sell the cuttings with my planters/pots... Any ideas? I am also trying to air propagate my fukien tea by wrapping a scarred lower half with cut willow leaves/shoots, and left leaves at the top, but have only done so yesterday so I will not know if this will work for a while.
