Shrub Cuttings Healthy After 4 Weeks ..likely To Be Rooted ?. What Now ?

Question

Cuttings in compost and vermiculite. Look healthy after 4 weeks.(Hydrangea, buddleia, acuba +++) Not sure if rooted. Loathe to disturb if not. When to pot on ? Fertiliser after potting on ? Keep in unheated greenhouse over winter (central Scotland)?

Answer 1

If you are seeing new growth the you, likely, have roots! You can check by turning it upside down, and lightly pulling it out of the container. The soil should hold together while you check for rooting.

Once they are rooted, then you can pot up into a container that is double the size of the original until it is ready for the next.

An unheated greenhouse should be fine for winter.
