Hi Grapes
Never done this before so could use your advice!
I'd like to propagate a Camellia bought last summer which is growing in a container, so the 'plant a growing shoot into the soil' method isn't ideal.
I've got two cuttings in mind, and have read a useful RHS guide that Two Sheds shared on the forum here a while back, so am planting:-
one in a 3" pot in a heated propagator
one in a 5" pot that will go outdoors either in a growhouse or beside a shed (in north facing shade).
Here's a pic of one of the shoots on which I've marked some potential cutting places - could you offer some advice on which one to go for and why? also, how many leaves to take off?
Thanks in advance guys
