Hi All,
I am trying to get another Choke Berry (not cherry) to grow
by transferring a clipping from another plant.Â* This is
supposedly how these plants are propagated.
I have been using this rooting compound:

And it does not seem to work.Â* Three failure so far.
Am I using the wrong stuff?
Cut, dip, make hole and pour some down the hole too,
stick in hole.Â* Did I miss something?
Many thanks,

Â* Just a guess , but I think you might be using too much rooting
hormone . The instructions on mine (TakeRoot brand) say dip then shake
excess off . Are you clipping almost all the leaves off ? That lowers
the moisture requirements , cuz remember , ya got no roots to take up
water and nutrients . I also put a baggie over the container (loosely)
to help retain moisture .
