A friend called me yesterday and said he need advice about rooting camellia cuttings. He said his next-door neighbor had several heirloom camellia bushes that had the most gorgeous flowers we had ever seen. He asked for and obtained permission to take 8-10 cuttings. He dipped the cut ends in Rootone and stuck them in (the necks of) 12oz. soda bottles filled with water. He told me that's the way his mom rooted her cuttings. Anyway, he said not a single cutting rooted.
I have never grown camellias and never rooted them, so I need someone to tell me how to root what appears to be difficult-to-root camellias.
