Very usefull for me , while your going into spring qnd summer, i get prepared for winter and spring. I did this last season an have seven new mapples...now I have like 50 new cuttings to check for repotting. I Already have bought many plastic boxes to fill next season...in my experience , the most important factor, is to be covert , with no ventilation, to keep near a 90% air humidity, and no direct sun

@@S.SunnyT. Jelle will tell tou better, but about rooting time...just leave it to the next season , just when sprouts are starting to swell. I don't know how your season and plants are doing, but when you have a new branch of 10 15 cm or less, you can cut, better if the sprouts and still pushing new leaves, you cut the youngest two ones...see Jelle's video about maple 🍁 cuttings...I have seen some others but in spanish...I think there is also a friend called Maple garden...

Clonex Rooting Gel. 😁 best stuff ever. My girlfriend and I have cloned so many things successfully. Any root growth gel will work.

Nice quick guide on rooted cuttings! We need more of this, to spread those hard to find cultivars! Careful labeling please!! My cutting priority this year is Beni Chidori, Seigen, Shin Deshojo, Nishikigawa, Hubble’s Super Cork, and Arakawa. 🙏🏽 🪴 🍁

Moisture is the friend of cuttings, but air is the enemy of mold. If you can gain back moisure then airing them sometimes can perhaps be an idea? Someone mentioned in a comment that he is careful not to open, and I am careful to open. Hah. What do you say, @GrowingBonsai ?

What's that mixture you're using? Looks like maybe some vermiculyte, but also sounds like pumice or perlite too? I'm struggling to find a healthy mix that doesn't lead to bad mildew or root rot issues but still stays moist. Using a biofungicide whenever I can but it's hard to tell when I need to water with more..
