What would be your most successful way of rooting cuttings.
1. Sticking the cutting in soil, and putting a cut soda bottle on top, cap on.

Why do you keep deleting this thread and recreating it? If people want to respond, they will respond.

Given your negative track record with forum members, if anyone does it may be for charity's sake and nothing more. Leave the thread and allow folks to respond. I think this is the third duplicate thread I've seen you create today.

Aeilee,
I like to use sphagnum moss (not peat moss) dampened in a baggie. Keep it in a darkened, warm room. I use my laundry room. It takes 3-6 weeks for a good set of roots to form.
After that I pot it in loose soil and put a soda bottle over the cutting to hold in moisture until a good set of leaves grow. It then goes into a sheltered area outside for a couple weeks and if not too hot I'll move it in full sun.

I agree with Sue, sphagnum moss or smoss is great for getting roots started without mold problems. I like to put them in water for a while first though, I change the water daily.

what would u put the smoss in ? I have a few cuttings that wont fit in a ziplock bag ..

You can cut those cuttings in half or into 2-3 inches long pieces. That way you'll end up with more trees.

for me, dan's peat pot method worked. out of 10 that i used peat pot on, 5 are now in 8" pot, and two are in 4" pot to be given away. i already gave away one, and i threw away 1 due to mold. one is not showing any root. so that's about 80% moving into larger pot from peat pot. i'll see if they turn into tree by next summer.

aeilee, Try gallon size baggies. They even make 2-gallon size bags. You can also use any plastic garbage bag for larger cuttings that will hold in the humidity.

I usually have a 8 inch humidity dome which gives me about 10 inches or so space for cuttings, however I have used one gallon pots with a cutting in it and put a ziploc plastic bag over top and had about 67% success with that but only a couple cuttings were tried.
