Rooting Southern Magnolia Cuttings

Simple Magnolia Cutting Protocol

1. Take 6-inch tender shoot (not woody) any time foliage is present.
2. Remove lower leaves.
3. Dip in rooting compound.
4. Stick 1 inch into pre-wet potting mix.
5. Cover pot with clear plastic.
6. Place in indirect light (east window or fluorescent).
7. After 2 weeks, tug gently; resistance means roots. Remove plastic, keep moist.

Treat as any seedling thereafter.
