7 cuttings of beautiful Azalea, large dark red neon magenta for rooting grafting
There is something nice and special about the people who love plants. .*.*. Welcome to my Beautiful World of Gardening! .*.*. You will receive: Seven 6-7″ long cuttings with the diameter 1/8″ to 1/4″ for rooting. These cuttings are from my very special azalea bush producing large flowers of dramatic, almost neon magenta color. The leaves are dark-green. Will be cut the day of shipping, and sent in a dump paper in a plastic bag.This particular azalea start producing flowers in early May, and it lasts till June. Rarely, it produces flowers in September. Not as many as in May, perhaps 30-40% was the number of the flowers as compared to that of May blossom. The bushes are approx. 4 ft tall and 5-6 ft wide.I am in Zone 7. ************************************************************************************ Experimentation with cuttings is an excellent therapy. I am one of those who believe that people need plants. People need to see green leaves, and they want to be happy doing simple things and accomplishing what they can every day. In addition, this hobby can be profitable – you can grow seedlings and sell them several months later. We can make this planet a little bit greener, cleaner, and healthier! My favorite method for rooting involves a clear plastic container (Like a shoe box from Lowes or a clear-plastic container for cakes) and live moss from the nearby woods. There is an opinion that live moss has anti-mold properties. Also, it is easy to place layers of moss – like clumps or “shelves” with plenty of humid air in between – and then to place cuttings. It is easier and safer to lift the clumps of moss without damaging fragile young roots – when you inspect the cuttings periodically. Horizontal placement of the cuttings often leads to several roots growing at the cutting ends and in the middle, potentially producing 2-3 plants from one cutting. I keep the box at the room temperature, 5-6 ft away from windows. Last several photos illustrate the moss, and roots growing at one end or both ends, and even in the middle. Some people call this horizontal+live moss method “simplified” aeroponics (Wikipedia: aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium). Recently I decided to use very short, 3-3.5″ long, cuttings. My experiments with short fig cuttings were surprisingly successful: those short 3-3.5″ cuttings produced roots at the ends and even in the middle! I did not use any rooting hormone, and based on what I have read, rooting hormone may or may not contribute to the success. When I see approx. 1” long white roots, I gently move the cutting to a “pot” made of a clear plastic water bottle with 3-4 holes on the bottom. Clear plastic allows me to see the growing roots. I use regular potting soil, used coffee grounds and even used leaves of mint after drinking mint tea, offering overall loose soil for the roots to propagate. I can see air gaps in the soil (avocado roots seem to like these cavities), and the roots rapidly growing in this porous light-weight “soil”. Normally I place those plastic bottles with rooted cuttings in larger clear plastic containers like Sterlite 55 – 65″ storage totes. I spray some water on my plants and keep these large containers closed. This creates a nice, warm humid environment, so I do not have to worry about watering my young plants too often. Some people prefer other, direct methods for rooting. They put cuttings 2″ deep in the soil and then place a clear plastic bag on top of the pot with the cuttings. I believe that 2″ deep is not the best. When I use this method – I plant my cuttings deeper, so only 2″ of their tops are above the soil level. One reason is to keep the most of the cutting surface in the moist soil. Another reason – is that I saw roots growing in the middle of the cuttings. I never tried heating pads. I know that some people successfully use the back top portion of refrigerators for heating of their cuttings. However, I found an “opposite” … when I placed cuttings in moist potting soil and left it sitting in the unheated garage (meaning cooler temperature and stable moisture level due to very slow evaporation during rather mild winter in Virginia) – many cuttings produced roots. This is just as another simple idea for those who likes experimenting. If someone tells you that cuttings should be pencil-thick – please tell them to go and read some books. I am trying to stay away from what people do with my cuttings. One reason – is that every day I have too many things to do, with little time to keep responding to emails. The second reason is that when rooting does not go well – some buyers tend to blame the seller, and in the past they asked me for their money back, saying that my instructions were wrong, “I followed your instructions and the cuttings did not produce roots!” In summary, different people use different rooting methods – from dump paper in a zip-lock bag placed on top of refrigerator to a sophisticated ultrasonic fog system. I can’t provide advice and/or take any responsibility for what my buyers do with my cuttings or how they perform rooting, grafting, etc. And unfortunately, my name is not Rockefeller, meaning that I can’t refund every unsuccessful rooting experiment.

Rosebay Rhododendron, Rhododendron maximum, Shrub Seeds (Showy Evergreen)
Rosebay Rhododendron, Rhododendron maximum, Shrub Seeds Hardy, Evergreen, Acid Loving, Showy Flowers, Attract Hummingbirds and Butterflies, Cold Tolerant The Rosebay Rhododendron grows in woods, often in dense shade, from sea level to 6000 feet in eastern North America from Georgia to Quebec and Nova Scotia. Growing along streams and on moist, rocky wooded slopes, Rhododendron maximum tolerates the low pH associated with damp, shady almost bog-like conditions. The epithet ‘maximum’ refers to the large size of a mature specimen which although normally 15 feet, may become tree-like reaching 40 feet. The plant habit is spreading, broader than tall. The handsome leaves are large, 4 to 12 inches long, glossy dark green, and thinly indumented. The branchlets, petioles, and flower parts are glandular. These glands are quite apparent on the new growth causing it to feel sticky to the touch. The inflorescence (truss) of 15-30 funnel-shaped flowers are presented in upright clusters. The 5-lobed flower is 1 inch long, white to pale pink, occasionally deep pink to rose red in color with yellow-green spotting. Bloom time is late-season with peak being mid-July in northern locations. Hardiness is rated at -15° to -20° F (-25° to -29° C). Rhododendron maximum is one of the easier species to grow from seed and clones can be grafted. Mature plants multiply naturally by layering and can be coaxed into layering easily with a “well dropped brick”. The dense thickets of Rhododendron maximum in the wild is a result of this amazing propagation trait. Those looking for a compact large flowered rhododendron for full sun or windswept areas will be quite disappointed by Rhododendron maximum. However, although its flowers are small and lack fragrance, Rhododendron maximum’s extreme hardiness, late bloom time, dark green foliage, and ability to flower in dense shade makes it a handsome addition to the background of a large woodland shade garden. Leaf: Alternate, evergreen, simple, elliptical, 4 to 10 inches long, pinnately veined, entire margins or slightly revolute, leathery, dark green above and paler with rust-colored hair below. Flower: Monoecious; showy, pale pink or white with a corolla of five rounded petals, occur in large clusters (5 to 8 inches across) in late spring to early summer. Fruit: Red-brown elongated capsule (1/2 inch long), splitting along five lines, containing many tiny seeds, borne in a long-stemmed cluster, maturing in fall. Twig: Stout, yellow-green in color, often with reddish brown hair; vegetative buds are small, appearing enclosed in tiny leaves, ovate shaped flower buds are quite large (1/2 inch), enclosed in green rusty, pubescent scales. Bark: Thin, light brown and smooth when young; broken into thin scales on older stems. Form: A large shrub or small tree with several twisted stems that may form an impassable, dense thicket up to 20 feet tall. Other Names: Rosebay Azalea, Great laurel, Great rhododendron, White laurel Zone: 4 to 6 Growth Rate: Medium Plant Type: Multi-stemmed, evergreen, large flowering shrub Family: Ericaceae Native Range: Eastern North America, from Nova Scotia south to northern Alabama. Height: 8 to 15 feet Spread: 8 to 15 feet Shape: Upright rounded shrub Bloom Time: Late June Bloom Color: Rose-pink, pink margined, or nearly white Flower/Fruit: Individual flowers are 1.5″ across and are borne in crowned clusters of up to 25 flowers Sun: Part Shade Fall Color: Evergreen Drought Tolerance: Low Water: Medium Maintenance: Medium Site Requirements /Soil Tolerances: Best grown in acidic, humusy, organically rich, medium moisture, moisture retentive but well drained soils in part shade. Prefers a sun dappled or high open shade. Tolerates a fair amount of sun in cool northern summers, but leaves may scorch in hot afternoon sun. Plant in a location protected from strong winter winds. Good soil drainage is essential (doesn’t like “wet feet”). Poor drainage inevitably leads to root rot, therefore raised beds/plantings should be considered in heavy clay soils. Shallow, fibrous root systems (do not cultivate around plants) will benefit greatly from a mulch (e.g., wood chips, bark or pine needles) to help retain moisture and stabilize soil temperatures. Roots must never be allowed to dry out. Acidify soils as needed. Culture: Mulch annually with a loose material like pine needles, bark, or chopped oak leaves. Clip off spent flower clusters immediately after bloom as practicable. Uses: Bonsai, Mass, group or specimen. Shrub borders, mixed borders, woodland gardens and shade gardens. Also effective in foundation plantings or as a hedge. Sowing Rhododendron maximum Seeds: For best results, please follow the instructions in the order provided. The seeds of Rosebay Rhododendron are extremely tiny. Wear your glasses and don’t breath while handling. Sow indoors under a dome lid and grow light. Germination: Surface sow indoors at 55° to 64°F in acidic potting mix or peat. Keep moist with spray mister.For more information about seed pretreatment and growing trees and shrubs from seed, please download this .pdf:https://cdn.forestresearch.gov.uk/2007/08/fcpg018.pdf Germination: Seeds Packets are labeled with seed name and sowing details.
