The tree that I've mentioned to you that I want to propagate, boldus peumus, or boldo, is related to the laurels, both belonging to the family Monimiaceae. However, boldo is particularly suited to a Mediterranean climate, with long, hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. Its leaves are drier than those of laurel and have a fuzzy surface and is drought tolerant. They do well in drier conditions than the laurel. At the arboretum, those cuttings that were left out in the open air did better than those under the misters. Therefore, the bottom heat with minimal greenery is probably the best way to go with boldo propagation. I'm going to experiment with cutting the green parts to the bare minimum, keeping the tops cool in buffered light, and the bottoms warm until I see the hopeful signs of rooting through the plastic cups. That will be a dream come true!

Mike: My research of the propagation of boldo cuttings indicates a success rate of only 15%, and that was the result of a scientific study in which they followed scientific propagation methods: bottom heating, humid conditions using nebulizers, pre-sterilization of the substrate medium, and initial and weekly treatment with the systemic fungicidal Dithane M-45 and Strepto plus. Twice a week it was sprayed with the foliar fertilizer Bayfolan 250 SL, which contains the macroelements N (11% p / v), P205 (8% p / v), P20 (6% p / v) and the microelements Fe, Mn , B, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Mo, Cl, Na, S, vitamin B1, auxins and substance tam-p6n. The study was performed at Catholic University in Maule, Chile, so these may be the names of Chilean products; The substrate used consisted of sawdust from Pinus radiata D. Don. To eliminate toxins and fungi, it was boiled in water, at least for half an hour. At the beginning of the test and subsequently on a monthly basis, the pH of the substrate was measured, which was maintained at an average value equal to 7.3. The temperature of the rooting beds was maintained with electric resistances placed at the base of them and regulated with a thermostat. The study showed that Boldo cuttings require an average of 6 months to propagate. It did not find a statistically significant benefit from application of rooting hormone, but of the various strengths tested, a concentration of 0.5% worked better than the higher concentrations. I've had my cuttings for 10 days now and it seems unlikely that they will survive long enough to grow roots. They began to wilt on the 8th day and have been losing leaves daily. My hopes have been subdued but I'm not giving up yet.

Hi Mike! A bit late to the comments here, but as a novice gardener who has just discovered your channel I have a question - by using bark (or sand) to root the cuttings would you not be depriving them of the nutrients that soil would give them? Or is that what the rooting hormone is for? I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for it, but I'd love it if you could elaborate further! Thanks :)
@MikeKincaid79
5 жыл бұрын
When they are cuttings without roots, there are no roots to take up nutrients. They cutting relies solely on the nutrition it has stored up in order to form roots and you'll see this in action as some plants leaves yellow a bit as they form roots. That's the plant using up it's nutrient supplies to form roots. Fertilizer on rooting cuttings would be wasted and would actually create an environment where fungus and mold would prefer to be. It's best to use material that has no measurable nutrients in it and then when the roots form, you can fertilize.

It's best to have fresh medium for rooting but what I do is to use fresh medium, root the cuttings, and then use the same medium to pot them up into pots after they've rooted so nothing goes to waste. If you use sand for rooting then you can just clean up any dead leaves and pour a mixture of 10% bleach water over the sand to cut down on fungus and bacteria in between cuttings.
