How to propagate Brazilian Raintree Bonsai (in an old bottle) 

Thanks for showing this method....

I cut the bottles and use the top as you did after the repotting. Sometimes I put a pot with seeds in the base of the plastic bottle, then I cut a short slit in the top part so it fits into the bottom part. I can not find long bags like you have. But because many in this town like to party on the weekend. There are plenty of free 2L pop/soda bottles Hahaha! Good experiment with cuttings!

I used a 2 litre plastic bottle for rose cuttings and it worked a treat … great little mini greenhouse! … All the best from the UK 🇬🇧

I tend to have good success with cuttings, but my BRT cuttings always fail, and they fail quickly. Even though you chalked this up as not working, I'm going to try it, because yours is still persisting, which makes it much better than any results I've gotten. It'll be easier to be patient if it's sitting in a capped plastic bottle, I think.

Jelle the Patient! Great Viking name I think, and I love the experimental you! Great try, my friend!

Un grand merci à vous pour la vidéo!

Interesting little experiment :)

Great video, worked in the end just needed lots of patience 😮, have you ever grown from seed? Have a two week old seedling in peat moss/perlite mix, wondered when do you think it will be strong enough to change the soil to a specialist bonsai mix, akadama/larva rock/ pumice? Do you use this mix for your Brazilian rain trees? Thanks again 😊

Would love to hear some advice from you on how to handle cuttings from Metasequoia glyptostroboides.

👍🙂👌

Hoi Jelle, normaal typ ik in het engels omdat je engels spreekt in jouw videos. Maar ik vraag dit even in het Nederlands omdat dit over Nederland gaat. Ga jij toevallig ook naar de eindejaars sale van hoka-en studio? Effe on topic: Leuk experiment!

Why did you leave the thorns?

Cut the bottle to put the cutting in and out. Telescope it back together

if you do it properly, it will only take one month to start rotting
