Fertilizing new cuttings

Which fertilizer would you suggest to put on my cuttings

I posted a similar question some time ago. Most said don't fertilize at all until at least the appearance of leaves...Others wait much longer.

Since switching to pre-rooting in only perlite - a medium with basically zero nutrients - I use an extremely diluted solution of water soluble fertilizer. I think any low N fertilizer would work fine for rooting purposes 


Thanks for the great advice

Thank you for the great advice

If you browse and/or search through this forum you'll find a wealth of information on rooting cuttings. It's perhaps the single most discussed topic here.

Funny thing is the Miracle Gro Perlite has fertilizer in it! I use a weak solution each time I water....works fo me.

Thanks I would have to try

Quite correct. Theirs does and you should not add if using a fertilized perlite. The perlite I buy in bulk has no additives.
