This is the fifth and final post of the “Watering Techniques” series. This post will focus on watering my cutting collection. My current watering method for these cuttings is relatively the same as seen in the videos, however, most of the cuttings have been re-potted since this video was taken so their watering routine is slightly different now.
Watering the Cutting Collection
There are a ton of cuttings that I water in the video. The empty pots contain seeds that never ended up sprouting. Since they never grew, I threw them out and reused the pots for other cuttings. I have published several posts about my cuttings including my small and medium Golden Gate Ficus cuttings, my two Ginseng Grafted Ficus cuttings, and my Royal Poinciana seedling. Watch the video below to learn more.
Considerations
My Meyer Lemon, Podocarpus, Golden Gate Ficus, Ginseng Grafted Ficus, and Desert Rose cuttings have been doing great since this video was taken. In the video, I had two or three empty pots that had seeds in them. Unfortunately, none of these seeds ended up germinating. Although, if you haven’t read the recent posts about my first, second, and third batch of tree seeds, I am currently growing a wide variety of tree species that have all been doing very well.
All my cuttings, except one Ginseng Grafted Ficus, have started to grow quite extensive root systems. Additionally, about half of my cuttings have developed a nice canopy that could be shaped into something nice one day.
If you haven’t already, go check out my YouTube page to watch this video and the other watering videos. You can find the other watering posts about the Ginseng Grafted Ficus, Golden Gate Ficus, Podocarpus, and Sago Palm here. I hope you enjoyed this series and that it helped you with your own trees too!
