| Dirr says in his propagation manual this plant is difficult and recommends a high % hormone and late winter/early spring cuttings. Any thought on this?
I want to root 'Pendula' in a heated greenhouse on a mist table with under the bench heat.
Thanks for any suggestions/comments

| I have had luck taking cuttings Sept thru April. I applied 0.8% IBA. stuck in well drained soil. I kept the soil moist BUT no misting. sometimes I use bottom heat other times I set under a bench & just keep soil damp. rooting time 2-3 months. |

| Thanks George I'm curious - was there any particular reason why you didn't mist? I've done as you say for thuja occidentalis and taxus, but have always had chamaecyparis on a mist table for rooting. However, I'm still learning the finer aspects of this type of propagation so I ask questions from time to time.
Thanks

| Marshall, I have rooted the weeping cedar with .3% IBA in moist shaded sand outdoors BUT!!! It took well over 12 months. Mike |

| Thanks Mike - I think I'm going to go ahead using a mist table and root in either a sand:peat or a Perlite:peat mix. I have a number of different hormones available and might try several of them. Lawsoniana and pisifera have all rooted well for me using this method. |

| Where do you get the different hormones with different strength of IBA? |
