In this video, I will give you an update on the cuttings from Shishigashira Japanese maple. I took these cuttings 2 months ago (mid May) from Shishigashira from the garden and checked some of them to see the progress today (Mid July). Many of them have roots growing and I would like to walk you through 1) how I get the cuttings, 2) what soil I use, 3) how I maintain them, and 4) how I check them and repot them in a pot.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m so excited to try this, as these trees are so glorious and the brilliant red color is so special. May God bless you

Amazing thank you for your tips

@MomijiEn 3 года назад

Thanks for watching!

@deineath 3 года назад

Amazing to see that many rooted. I'm surprised about those that haven't rooted but stayed green and sharp. Mine usually gets dark and dries out after 2-3 days. Can't wait for the springtime to try them out again.

@MomijiEn 3 года назад

Yeah most of them stay green after several months but some roots and some don't! Need to keep testing different theories. 😁

@deineath 3 года назад

@@MomijiEn Very interesting. Watching these videos is very encouraging despite my failure. I'm wondering how much of the rooting success is dependent on the variety of JM. I have access to a large/mature JM garden nearby that I sometimes get cuttings (the owner doesn't allow air layering ---only observing and getting some cuttings and seeds). These are the names of JMs: Butterfly, Harusame, Shigitatsu Sawa, Corallinum, Higasayama, Dissectum inaba-shidare, Komon nishiki, Beni kagami, and I own Trident, Summer gold, and Mikawa Yatsubusa. Would you say any of these worth trying again in springtime? I failed 1000 times this year and don't wanna hurt/waste cuttings, BUT love the experience of propagation. Sorry for the long question. Thank you.

Thank you for the video. It was interesting and informative. I would like to know how and where will these small plants winter? I would be grateful for your advice. With all respect, Andrew.

@MomijiEn 2 года назад

Hi Andrew and thanks for your comment! All small trees go to an unheated greenhouse during the winter time. :)

@BlueJayBonsai 3 года назад

Thank you for the updates and tips, great video. Is the cactus soil a specific brand? Thanks.

@MomijiEn 3 года назад

The one I am using is from Uni-Gro Cactus Mix.

@gars7395 3 года назад

Hello, I just got three huge branches cut off a Shishigashira, each branch is about 2 inch diameter. I LOVE this red branched Jap Maple! Hoping some of my cuttings using Hormodine 3 powder will "take" and I'll get some success, even if it's just 10%, I'll be thrilled!

@MomijiEn Год назад

I love shishigashira too! Good luck!

@LessTalkMoreDelicious 3 года назад

Nice… I’ve been using primarily/only cactus mix for all my species and pots ever since I started bonsai. Cheap, easy (no mixing), effective, well draining… like an instant bonsai mix. Learned the trick from an old-school JBP grower in LA. Purists and BNut peeps hate on it tho, haha. Their loss.

@MomijiEn 3 года назад

I love using Akadama etc but there are good alternatives that work well in different situations and climates! 😁

@heartwooden 2 года назад

i pulled ome of my cuttings and it has roots! put it back in. this the first time i propagated cuttings, was lucky i guess

@MomijiEn 2 года назад

Great job!! That's exciting! 😍

@haihappen8306 2 года назад

Thank you for this interesting and detailed information! There are few resources or information in mainland Europe for Japanese Maples. (Even the plants themselves are somewhat rare, at least the un-grafted ones.) If I interpret this right, you suggest the best time to take cuttings is when the first spring growth has stopped and the shoots have hardened off? Or should I still wait for some time more?

@MomijiEn 2 года назад

From my personal experience, the best time to take cuttings is when the new leaves have hardened off in mid Spring. Ones with naturally smaller leaves seem to have better chance of rooting than ones with bigger leaves. Good luck!

@Oroj1525 2 года назад

Do you plan on trying again with shindeshojo next year? Doing anything different? Please keep us posted with videos. Thanks

@MomijiEn 2 года назад

Yes I do plan to do it with Shin Deshojo again next year and have some ideas. Will make sure to make a video on it! 😁

@Oroj1525 2 года назад

You are the best thanks 👍🏻

@fabulously695 2 года назад

I think if you wait until the following spring to repot, you'd have had a lot more of them root :)

@MomijiEn 2 года назад

I think you are right :)

@DeadZone318 2 года назад

After placing the cuttings under the bench, do you add a humidity dome or something similar?

@MomijiEn 2 года назад

No I don't cover them. But I'm in the PNW where it's not too dry so it works for me. If you live somewhere drier, you may want to cover them to add humidity. I water them almost daily from late Spring to Fall to keep the soil moist.

@sasha1813 3 года назад

After you put hormon on the cuttings do you stick them directly into the soil or do you make a small hole before?

@MomijiEn 3 года назад

I made a small hole and inserted the cutting deep in an angle.

@tomsmith2215 3 года назад

i got 12 saplings from under a rare big acer, green and pink, small leaf with tighter lobes. keeping them in 4" pots with morning sun under breezeway, then roll shelf to evening sun after work. they are all on their 3 set of full leafs and we have another 2.5 mos until frost. hoping i can get them to make it thru the winter

@MomijiEn 2 года назад

I dont know if youve tried this method but ive had recent 100% success with shishigashira rooted in a container of sphagnum !

@MomijiEn Год назад

Oh wow, no I have not. Do you just stick in the cuttings into a contain full of sphagnum moss!?

@cduff4505 3 года назад

Cactus soil, what a great idea! Did you find it hard to keep the soil moist? What was your watering schedule ? The cuttings look great! I had a few larger trees in nursery pots on the ground that I moved this weekend and found all three of them harboring huge colonies of fire ants. Ugh... I can imagine that ants thought they had found heaven. Light airy soil, cool and moist... me not so happy. I started looking around and found about 1/4 of all my plants and bonsai pots had fire ants. Probably not a common bonsai tree issue! Do you run across any pests with your trees? Do you do any preventative maintenance for bugs or slugs and such?

@MomijiEn 3 года назад

Yeah I was surprised to see such good results! In the PNW, the weather is usually very calm, cool, and humid, so the cactusix with a bit of peat moss retain adequate moisture very well and I found it easy toaintain and keep it moist all the two by watering regularly once a day or twice if hot. I don't have any issues with ants here but I do apply copper fungicide and regular insecticide to prevent issues. 😁

@cduff4505 3 года назад

@@MomijiEn i’ve add Cactus mix to my winter prep list! I tried a few cuttings this past spring and while they have kept their leaves and have a new leaf or two, there is no root action at all. I’ll keep tending them till fall just in case but I have little hope. Hopefully switching to cactus mix in spring will make a difference. Thanks for sharing!!

@philbrownred6500 Год назад

What time of year should this be done?

@MomijiEn Год назад

I usually take cuttings when new leaves are hardened off in mid Spring. Some people do it in early spring as well.

@davidjobe9876 3 месяца назад

They say the cuttings should be at least 10 to 15 cm long, in your case they are exactly shorter.

@scottsaree4295 3 года назад

i have no luck about cutting three years not successes but try again this year . i think too cold in scotland.

@MomijiEn 3 года назад

What's the avg temperature like between June-Sep in Scotland? Some people use a heating mat to encourage root growth.

@israel13g 3 года назад

I started some cuttings about 2 weeks ago all the leaves dried and fell off. Is this normal?

@MomijiEn 3 года назад

That may not be a good sign. It's either 1) those cuttings have too many leaves attached and those leaves are transpiring water faster than the cuttings can absorb water from soil or 2) somehow this cuttings lost an ability to absorb water from soil. This happens if you didn't make cuts shape enough or cut area is infected.
