Sage cuttings

[REDWOOD]

I was in Singleton Park nurseries on a breakdown today and after commenting on a lovely patch of sage the gardener kindly gave me a few cuttings, "thank you very much" I said working away puzzled and asking myself what on earth do I do with them so any suggestions will be much appreciated

Try various ways if you have enough. Rehydrate in water for a couple of hours, recut the stem just below a leaf joint, Shove a couple in water, take the lower leaves off a couple and dip them in rooting hormone compound and push into compost, leave in a plastic bag ona windo sill, try a couple on a heated tray if you have one and leave a couple just in soil in a sheltered spot outside, see which ones take best

I took a successful sage cutting a few months ago. I simply stripped off the lower leaves, dipped it in rooting hormone and stuck it in a pot of sandy soil. Doing very well now.

Yes.

It would be the same as using water in which willow cuttings have been steeped. Towards the end of this page http://deepgreenpermaculture.com/diy-instructions/home-made-plant-rooting-hormone-willow-water/
