Ok, i've potted up some cuttings, and i'll see how they do. If I get just a couple of them to root, I will consider it a success. I have 8 yaupon holly (Pride of Houston), and 4 mexican plum, and i soaked the cuttings in Garrett Juice first. Wish me luck. #gardening #permies #grownostr

Cover with plastic to keep the humidity up a bit. I have mulberry covered with one quarter size hole to allow some air transfer.

Ok, thanks for the tip. Do you think i should put them in the garden shed, or is outside ok ? I have a little mini greenhouse with shelves that i thought i could use for this also.

That would be perfect in the greenhouse, probably no direct sunlight

Maria2000 2y ago

So should i put the mini greenhouse in the garden shed where it would be low-light all winter, or better to put the mini greenhouse outside, out of direct sunlight?

Outside in the shade should work fine. Just make sure to keep the soil watered every week or so.

Oh, and i'd like to buy a couple of your elderberry starts if you still have some.

Sure, i have a bundle of cuttings that you can place in damp soil to root . $20 shipped. Just DM your address if interested.

Mike Mcgroarty suggests bottom heat as well for holly.

Good luck!

Thank you, i think i have a heating mat somewhere. That looks like an interesting book.
