Rooting Japanese Maple Cuttings 

look into airlayering too!

*Chefs kiss* 11/10 quality uncle activities

@@GrowingBonsaiwhat brand of rooting hormone do you use?

@@maggillaguerrilla830 I use any one I find with "I.B.A." in the main components, means "indol butiric acid" I don't have many choices in Patagonia

:) No NEED to chek right. You can also wait for spring repotting

@@GrowingBonsaithank you sure I'll check next spring...and by the way , the dead ones will be easy to see.

How long need the cuttings to get new roots? Can i do it now or when its the best time for cut little maple sticks for getti g roots?

@@S.SunnyT. Jelle will tell tou better, but about rooting time...just leave it to the next season , just when sprouts are starting to swell. I don't know how your season and plants are doing, but when you have a new branch of 10 15 cm or less, you can cut, better if the sprouts and still pushing new leaves, you cut the youngest two ones...see Jelle's video about maple 🍁 cuttings...I have seen some others but in spanish...I think there is also a friend called Maple garden... I'll check

Great 👍 And.. it worked too?

Great 👍

Was this answered? My question too

Clonex Rooting Gel. 😁 best stuff ever. My girlfriend and I have cloned so many things successfully. Any root growth gel will work.

Good luck!

Thaanks!

thx

**note... i microwaved vermiculite BEFORE planting the cuttings, not after HAHA...

Moisture is the friend of cuttings, but air is the enemy of mold. If you can gain back moisure then airing them sometimes can perhaps be an idea? Someone mentioned in a comment that he is careful not to open, and I am careful to open. Hah. What do you say, @GrowingBonsai ?

@@nordicmind82 Yes, I immediately opened and sprayed with more hydrogen peroxide solution and let them air out and manually sprayed... Unfortunately they didn't make it.. I'm thinking I need to figure out a way to clean the vermiculite better next time and perhaps have less moisture in the container to start... not sure... would be interesting to see what other people say.

I hardly ever have problems with fungal infections. I typially start opening the bag after 4-6 weeks.

@@GrowingBonsai 😩😩😩 I think o might have started with too much water in the vermiculite and possibly had it by a wall that warmed up too much. Who knows. Guess I’ll try again next spring….

soon waking up?

I am not sure! My big pink maple could be seigen or beni chidori!

I look at the foliage and I check whether the branches are getting more stable. Once you have a number of leaves and they stay up by themselves you should be OK to go.

@@GrowingBonsai Thank you for the response... i was curious, are you favoring the tray and dome over the pot and sandwich baggy method??? Does more air space have better results?

@@abidingdude222 hm.. No I do not think I do. I have better results with a baggie. It was really a space thing. This year I bought a more sta le dome to retry

@@GrowingBonsai I just did two bags of Katsura and 1 of shindeshojo, we'll see how they turn out!

Yes, the young tip often starts rotting before rooting occurs

Obviously he has NO answer to ur question!!!

@@GrowingBonsai and how long should ot stay in there? How many weeks need to get new roots?

@@GrowingBonsai how long does the littke maple need to get new roots?

Vermiculite

of course it will have a top. Side branches will grow upwards

@@GrowingBonsai yes, but not symmetrical. Isn't maple top tree, or is this a schrub species? Why would we cut top in the first place?

@@GrowingBonsaithis video is not available. Which soil is that?

Yes Certainly!

Not really. It really is when the first spring push has extended and the trees take a break.

@@GrowingBonsaiyes I understand

What was the substrate (purple liquid) name? I didn't catch it, thanks 🙏

I have the same question.

@@racheldavies5225 he uses Clonex i think

I find they are stronger than grafted trees

Great question. Just here to get a notification in case someone answers 😊

I just get if off amazon tbh

What is the name of that paste on Amazon?

@@RICOLOP1 Clonex

@@GrowingBonsai Alright, thank you very much for answering. I thought you probably got it from somewhere else. It's quite difficult to get here in Austria. But nice to know :)

Do you know what you do differently?

Fail how? Rot/mold/dry out/wither/explode/insects/rats/cats/bats/never grows roots/escape/grow roots and then become droopy and die/etc? And do you use the magic purple slime?

Leider nicht.

@@GrowingBonsai helaas. weet je waar ik ze kan krijgen,. geweldig kanaal btw

I have no idea. For me, rooting in water does not give good results.
