Thank you for pointing out the bag worm. I've been seeing them recently here in Lago florida. After a bit of research I won't be ignoring them any more. wow!
If there’s at least 4-8 weeks of growing weather, yes. Even if there isn’t, you can check if there’s roots after that time and if not, leave them over winter and they may take root in the spring.
My bonsai soil mix, which is typically equal parts pine fines and Arcosa lightweight aggregate (or some other fired clay). What i used in the video was from the bottom of my container, so it had a lot of finer granules which i sift out for my bonsai soil.
I’ve only tried with natural light in spring and summer. Even with a grow-light, I would not recommend it during the winter months because it’s dormant.

Any reason you wouldn't let these overwinter in the first pot? I'm surprised to see such root growth after only 8 weeks
You can do that. The longer you leave them, the more roots you’ll get.
Were the cuttings kept in a greenhouse or outdoors? My juniper cuttings took months before they rooted outdoors😢
They were outside. It seems that they take better when planted close together as opposed to each cutting in its own individual pot.
Thanks for this video. Do you think I can still make the cuttings or is it already too late?

@@RedDirtGardens Thanks a lot. I'll give it a try.
What kind of medium did you use for the training pots?

Don,t they need grow light or natural light to grow ?
