Virginia Sweetspire is native, cuttings supposedly root easily.
Got a bunch of different plants as cuttings, waiting for roots. 🤞

Skipped spring tablecloth, since plants were in the way. Summer one arrived. A bit short, but oh well.
Bit of reorganizing of plants. Brighter in here now.

Starting again with trying to root cuttings.

Got the white/purple rooting hormone powder bottle. And some vermiculite.

Trying to get florist roses to root currently.
Cut under leaf node, I think. No leaves on them.
Contained to keep in moisture. On seedling mat to stay warm.

What else do I do? How long does it take before I know if it failed or worked?

I'm used to willows. They root in water in days, lol. But willow water has never worked for me to use on other plants to root them.
Have you tried sticking it into a cut onion? I saw it on youtube but haven't tried it...

When I went to that one nursery, I spotted a leave one, take one bin of plastic pots...Also a giant skellie!
Got a teal and a tan pretty pots, then this shallow one, some regular sized and some large. They had hundreds! Wish there were tons of shallow ones...So rare.
Anyway, mixed fluffy dirt with perlite or that other one that looks exactly the same, but longer name....And stuck a ton of rose cuttings into it. Plus one stabby shrub cutting.
Don't have anything big enough for the humidity, so a bag had to do.
Idk if any will root, but maybe.
