Collected on : July 8 (2 big ones) & Aug 18 (3 small ones), 2016
These water rooted cuttings were moved to cocopeat almost 3 months ago and are now ready to be repotted. A soil mix and a bigger pots are needed soon.
They were neglected by me for a while and were malnourished and had spider mite infestation on them. Now, they have almost recovered.

Thanks Terrance !
DeleteSo, if I will cut the leaves the new ones will grow smaller? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi, no it will not. I cut leaves for 2 reasons - 1} to reduce water loss due to evaporation from leaf surface of the cuttings 2} to make it visually look better with a proportionally smaller leaf size. A huge leaf on a tiny cutting looks ugly to me. Here is a video of reducing leaf size. Checkout the description also - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orHHhb51ZQo. To learn more, just google "reducing leaf size bonsai".
DeleteThank you. My first attempt before watching your video failed, I think I went from water to soil too early. I am now retrying new cuttings in water, and with both green cuttings and hard wood ones - so good to see from your video that both are possible.
