Life is "mind over matter". If I d
aedesia--

Do you know WHEN they took the cuttings? What month--etc...
How were the tiny cuttings rooted?
--In soil in a covered container--a la Venus Flytraps?
---In an open container?
I was told that Camellia cuttings need to be taken in August (here--Z-7a)
when the new growth has reached the soft-wood stage. Do you agree?

I have a gorgeous, "Bob Hope" Camellia which is getting on in years .
Would love to propagate it for posterity--but do not know the best way to do it..
I tried air-layering a few years ago--and there were no roots in the moss wrapped cuts.
I tried root layering and after 2 years--nothing had happened. So--I took the brick off.

Anyone out there that has a sure-proof method???

Thanks, Gita
