My way of a plant cutting (Japanese maple)

Let’s see above things with the pictures.

Cuttage scion

I reduce the number of the cuttage scion’s leaves or cut the leaves for making smaller.

Rooting bed

Akadama soil + Kanuma soil

Or

Akadama soil + Kanuma soil + expanded vermiculite

The rooting bed got plenty of the wather first.

Rooting-promoting agent

I always use Ru-ton. It looks like potato starch.

To put them

To make hole on the soil and put cuttage scions carefully.
