I didn’t think about using the bucket on my tractor for my potting. Great tip..

[@SeedsofPromise]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jennablorezone8Band9A]

What medium did you use to start propagation before potting up ?
I’m amazed at how well rooted they are.
It’s just Spring now in PNW and wondering if I could trim some now to start propagation while it’s cool?

[@SeedsofPromise]

Lately I've been using PRO-MIX BX All Purpose Growing and pine bark fines. This has worked the best for me. These are also very easy to find in most areas.

[@philipmccartney9948]

Will you provide any protection for the cuttings you transplanted into gallon containers during their first winter, or will they be placed outside to "harden off" ?
Thanks for the videos !

[@SeedsofPromise]

Places outside, they will go dormant and should be fine.

[@ioerror2000]

They look great. Can the cuttings be propogated now that it is getting cold?

[@SeedsofPromise]

This would not be the best time. The cuttings need to be taken from the bush right after fruiting has finished. This is when you will start to see a lot of new fresh growth on the bushes. These are what you need to take your cuttings from. The wood has not harden yet and is better for propagation.

@@SeedsofPromise Great... Thank you so much... We just bought a property in PA and it came with 8 bushes of blueberries. Not sure what variety but they are about 5 to 6 feet tall. The ph of soil was neutral so I just amended the soil with acidifer. I'll grab some cuttings to propogate. Can I propogate in growlight in doors and manually sprinkling them every day or so? Lover your setup BTW...

[@SeedsofPromise]

I've never tried that but I'm sure if you can keep the right conditions it shouldn't be a problem. I would create some type of a humidity dome so that you wouldn't have to mist them throughout the day.

[@markney7895]

Have you tried to air Layer propagate

[@SeedsofPromise]

No, it would be interesting to try. I may try late summer and see how they do.

[@anneharrington7951]

Are these hard, or soft root cuttings..

[@SeedsofPromise]

Soft. I usually will take the growth after fruiting has finished. In our area this is around mid August.

[@tomschmutz4179]

You didn’t show how you initially propagated the original cuttings.
