I have a big Boug. that i bought a year ago at Home Depot and its got some thick limbs on it that i'd like to try to plant other bushes from it, instead of buying. i've done alot of reading on the internet and this doesn't seem like a hard process but i have failed 6 or 7 times.
Looking for advice. Here are the 2 methods ive tried
All starting with branches are that "minimum of a pencil thick diameter" and shave the bottom 1" of the branch to expose the skin (this was the suggested method if found online). I also clipped off thorns and sprouts growing off of it
Method 1
- take piece and stick it in a citrus potting soil mix in a 6" pot with Boug. fertilizer
- keep moist but well drained and not soaked
FAIL
Method 2
- take piece and wrap bottom (shaved) part in a damp paper town
- place in ziplock and seal and put in indirect sunlight
ALSO FAIL
any help would be great!
thanks
