How Should I Care For Shrub Cuttings After Rooting.

Question

Hello, I have got about 40 cuttings of shrubs from my garden in pots (compost vermiculite mix) covered in plastic bags in a cold greenhouse. I ventilate them every couple of days and they look very healthy although no roots at visible at the base of the pot after 4 weeks. I am not sure how to proceed now 1. Should I wait until roots are visible before potting on in compost ? 2. Will they need a little fertiliser then ? 3. Should I over-winter them in the cold green house ? (central Scotland) 4. Should they be ready to plant out next Spring? I have bubbleia, potentilla, pieris, hebe and several hydrangea which I am especially keen to develop. Thank you for your help Eileen

Once they are rooted and ready to go, you will want to plant them and care for them as per their care requirements.
