Now’s the time to take semi-ripe cuttings from
some of your favourite shrubs like Hebes, Rosemary, Weigela, Ceanothus and Hydrangeas.
Take the cuttings from the current year’s growth just below a leaf, remove the
leaves from the lower half of the cutting and dip the end in rooting hormone.
Then insert the cuttings in pots of cuttings compost.
Cover the pots with a
polythene bag or put them in a propagator and place somewhere warm and
sheltered but out of strong, direct sunlight. They should be ready to pot on in
a few weeks.
Don’t forget to pick up everything you need to ensure perfect
cuttings including pots, cuttings compost, dibbers, rooting hormone, labels and
propagators when you visit one of our Exeter Garden Centres.
