Often people that grow bonsai and in particular, maples, will wonder whether it is possible to grow them from cuttings. And the first question of course is then: Rooting the cuttings.

I have made a little video on rooting Japanese Maple cuttings. Please take a look and let me know what you think!

In short, the steps are:

1. Trim the maple
2. Collect branches with 2 nodes of semi-hardened material, leaving only the top 2 branches
3. Dip the lower node in rooting hormones
4. Place the cutting in a suitable media (See video!)
5. Shield the container & cuttings from wind and keep moist (Special trick in the video)

Enjoy!
