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?

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 .

it also depends upon how the cutting that is trying
to be rooted is treated. it should not be left in
the hot sun or allowed to dry out. it should be kept
moist but not soggy. etc.
