3 Holly (Ilex) Cuttings Clippings for Propagation Evergreen Perennial Tree Shrub
You'll receive 3 freshly cut holly cuttings for propagation. The cuttings will have the bottom leaves removed (as shown in the photo) in preparation for propagation.Hardiness zone: 5-9To root cuttings after receiving:**Note: a node is the part of a plant stem from which one or more leaves emerge, often forming a slight swelling or knob.~ Dip/roll the bottom section of the cutting (including some of the nodes) into rooting hormone (cinnamon reputedly works as a rooting hormone, or you can obtain rooting powder hormone online or at a store in the garden section). Rooting hormone is not necessary, but it speeds up the process and can help the rooting be more successful.~ Plant the cutting into a container of potting soil, being sure to plant it deep enough to cover some of the nodes (this is where roots will grow). Be sure to keep the soil moist to encourage rooting.~ After a few weeks gently tug the cutting up to see if there is resistance - if so, the cutting has taken root.
