Now’s the time to start semi-ripe plant cuttings

This week The Wrigglers #cartoons are going to squint at taking #plant semi-ripe cuttings. Apparently there 100 ways to propagate your plants… Semi-ripe cuttings is one you can do now!

Semi-ripe cuttings are made using this year’s stems, when they are woody at the wiring and soft at the tip. It’s the nonflexible wiring that makes the cuttings less likely to rot while the roots are taking.

Plant hormone levels are upper in the storing months too, so should root and grow well!

The worms are propagating a hebe in this cartoon. Top plants to propagate from cuttings in storing include: Salvias, Culinary Sage, Box, Rosemary, Penstemons, Lavender.
