How long will the cuttings take to root?. Couple weeks ago, there was a
Bonsai show at my local botanical garden here in So. Redondo Beach, and the
speaker was using a cork tree. I took some cuttings(8) from him and I have
it in a pot now, waiting for roots to come. He did tell me it will take
some time. I didn't use any rooting hormone, but you say I'll be ok...so
what about the watering. Is it the same, wait till its dry or do I keep it
moist. Your answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

I'm new, and think the boxwoods i've put in pots are ok ... all
i did
was cut them, dip into the hormone, put in a finger hole in the
soil,
and pack the soil in. Are my boxwoods doomed ? Also, how much
rooting hormone is enough ? I'm being pretty liberal with it,
and i
know that with plants, often too much is bad!

Your boxwoods will be fine. They'll root without rooting
hormone.
