  • Conifer cuttings

    Hello

    i am trying to do some cuttings from my conifer trees but every time i try they just seem to end up drying out and dying.

    I have used both root power and gel for different batches, always in good drainage compost, i dont water to regular as i read that they dont like it but i dont let the compost dry out completly.

    what am i doing wrong?

    cheers

            It says they take up to a year to take root.

            I've always had more success with hardwood cuttings if I put them in the ground, not in a pot.
            Can you try that?
