ROOT CUTTINGS<br />
Taking root cuttings has to be one of the simplest<br />
propagation methods. Plants with fleshy roots or those<br />
that produce suckers are ideal for this. Some plants to<br />
try include the plume poppy (Macleaya cordata), Oriental<br />
poppy (Papaver orientale), the drumstick primrose<br />
(Primula denticulata), horseradish (Armoracia rusticana),<br />
Japanese anemone (Anemone hupehensis var. japonica)<br />
and mullein (Verbascum).<br />
Take a root cutting<br />
First, prepare a tray with good quality propagation mix. To take a<br />
root cutting, you can do one of two things:<br />
1. Cut the root into pieces and place in the soil with the top of the<br />
root sitting above the media.<br />
2. Cut the root into pieces and lay the root on the media so it is<br />
sitting in the media a little bit (as shown).<br />
Note<br />
By cutting the top of the root straight and the bottom on a<br />
diagonal you will ensure you know which is top and bottom<br />
when planting.<br />
Maintain your cuttings<br />
Keep propagation mix moist but not soaking wet, and place<br />
the tray outside. Check on it every now and then, and ensure it<br />
doesn’t completely dry out.<br />
