Ive been thinking about taking a chunk of cutting and laying it on its side in the dirt..anybody do this and get good results..Ive been told you would get more then one plant this way?...Judy
Planting cuttings on their sides?
Yes, Judy. My opinion, that is the only way to go. I received some really special cuttings this past winter and I tried them the traditional, upright way. I've never lost a cutting until those! The horizontal cuttings work really well for me, even with greenwood. If I'm rooting a really tall cutting and I want to keep the height, I do it vertically, otherwise, log style. Shoot, I can't find the old thread...
Im going to try this with one of my less important cuttings...lolol...I wish I had tried it when I got my Maya cuttings...Im down to one left since the rest died from one thing or other...Im praying this one lives...Judy
