Blueberry Propagation: Layering and Cuttings

Two reliable methods for blueberries (Bluejay, Blueray):

Layering (Fall/Spring)

1. Bend low branch to ground; strip leaves on contact section.
2. Wound stem slightly; bury in shallow trench.
3. Weight with rock; sever next spring.

Softwood Cuttings (Early Summer)

1. 6–8 inch green cuttings; strip to top 2–3 leaves.
2. Dip in Rootone; stick in warm, wet sand.
3. Mist 2x/day; roots in ~8 weeks.

Layering mimics natural rooting; cuttings need humidity and heat.
