What does soilless mix mean? Also, do you root soft wood of evergreens the same way as shrubs that lose their leaves?

Most soilless mixes are predominantly sphagnum peat moss, which is lightweight, inexpensive, and well draining but water retentive. Soilless mixes are also free of disease and other contaminates.
