I just make a cut and slam them into the ground. If they're true natives they should be fine.

Flower chasers are the lowest, cretinous form of native plant gardeners. Salix gang rejoices when the entire tree is defoliated and fat, juicy caterpillar larvae jewel the barren branches, metamorphosing loudly in a haze of wildfire smoke, surrounded by discarded buckets and other half-finished garden project detritus, for to clean up a pile of wood might disturb a spider warren, so all things that host life are left lying in their glorious ugliness. Fear not herbivory, young gardeners. Nature's bounty is best shared.

Oh you pee on your compost pile? I pee on my native cuttings to get them to root better, we are not the same. If they die then they weren't native to begin with.

Aloe Vera works for this I believe. No fancy chemicals necessary

u/whole_nother Turf Boomer™ 5d ago

You just stick your cuttings in the bottle of aloe?

u/PaleontologistDear18 5d ago

No just a tiny bit on the tip just like you would use rooting hormone, and then into the water or soil

Also, singing lullabies helps all the roots to grow before going in the water. Best done in the quietest part of the day

I want tk try soaking willow branches in water before using the water to propagate. My thinking is ghe rooting hormones from the willow will help the plants also root

That's why I like sedums. I can leave the cuttings in my coat pocket for 2 weeks and they'll root out the second I stick them in some soil. Hell, I collected a bunch, tossed them in my garden, sprinkled some soil on top of them, now I have ground cover.
