Should I Mist My Arborvitae Cuttings With The Diluted Apple Cider Vinegar Diy Rooting Hormone, Or Just When Initially Sticking?

Question

I dipped them and stuck them in rooting medium, now I’m wondering when to mist them and if it will rinse off the apple cider vinegar, so then I was thinking maybe I should mist the base with that mixture? Thank you!

Answer 1

I would not mist the plant with the vinegar, too much can prevent rooting. After putting the rootings in soil, you can water the cuttings then enclose them in a plastic bag or sheeting to create a greenhouse effect. Then you shouldn't need to mist.
