Update on Cuttings

in life •  5 years ago 

The cuttings I took about a week ago from the thornless blackberries and goji berries are still going strong in the fox farm potting soil. I've been watering heavily every day in the morning. What should I do if all 3 root in each pot? Any suggestions are most welcome.

Peace and joy,

If they all root its time to transfer them into the ground. Hopefully that thornless blackberry will breed with your native ones you found on your land.

Man that would be so cool if the thornless ones spread to my thorned blackberries and dominated the genetics. Wondering how to tell if they have solidly made roots and how to split them of safely to plant. Any tips? Just go for it at some point and see if it works?

I hope so too, I would say give the plant a tug from its stem.. If it easily pulls out from the dirt the roots arent ready.. But if you tug and all of the dirt tried to come with it then you probably have enough.. Also vigorous plants, like cannabis will start to grow the roots through the drainage holes in the container making it easy to see its rooting. Blackberries Im not sure, but giving them a tug should tell.
