How do you do it? I did 30, even put them in miracle grow for them, kept in 70% sun, put root developer starter on them and water correctly. All died. Do I cut wherever, top, bottom, middle, dig up roots and plant. Should I wait until fall. Do in spring?

I tried twice to grow my own and I ended up with the same results as you...........now I pick wild ones because it's a lot more fun and it's less frustrating.

I wait for super wet soil following rain. dig plenty of soil then put back in same depth.
Also had some of the root wad fall apart and basically bare rooted them into very wet soil again.
I have not tried the cutting of green cane but that should work now. Maybe start some cuttings to see if the.roots sprout, then plant.

Did the root transfer and it worked great but thought I could get more bang by cutting. The roots are such a pain to dig up. |

Try setting them in a bucket with a few inches in the bottom. Wait for roots to start then plant those that sprout roots.

Have you tried tip layering stems of established rooted plants? You take the tip of a stem of an established plant and simply bend it down gently until it touches the soil, then mound some soil over the tip. Use a weight to hold it down, when the part under the soil exhibits new leaf growth above the soil the start is ready to cut. Leave a few inches of parent stem to avoid damage to the new plant. This is normally done in Spring, with the new plants ready around Fall. Layering methods |
