Rooting Shrubs

Question

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

Answer 1

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.
