It works with these methods

Can I propagate all the bushes myself?

Many shrubs can be propagated quite well, others require a little patience or a sure instinct. However, it's always worth trying at least once. However, from seeds collected yourself, you will not always get shrubs with the desired properties. On the other hand, you can obtain specimens identical to the mother plant by cuttings or subsidence.

Propagation by cuttings

Cuttings can be made from most shrubs cut will. Late spring and the summer months, from May to August, are ideal for propagating cuttings. If you use very young, still soft shoots for this, they can easily rot. If, on the other hand, they are hard and already lignified, it may take a long time for roots to form.

You may cut cuttings several times with an interval of a few days or you take shoots with different degrees of woody wood. With Rooting powder you can stimulate the formation of roots. This is often useful, especially with hard instincts.

The increase by subsidence

The easiest way is to multiply by subscribers. Here you just have to deflect a flexible shoot onto the ground, pelt it with earth and possibly weigh it down with a stone. The future young plant will continue to be supplied by the mother plant. After the rooting, it can be separated from it.

Propagation by sowing

Would you like bushes through sowing then you can buy the seeds or collect them from your plants yourself. However, since the seeds have properties from both parent plants, their appearance cannot always be predicted. Purchased seeds are usually carefully grown and tested. You will receive the desired shrubs sown according to the instructions on the package.

The essentials in brief:

• simplest type of propagation: subsidence
• Young plants identical to the mother plant: by cuttings and subsidence
• Stimulate rooting: with rooting powder
• Avoid waterlogging, causes cuttings to rot
• pour carefully
