How to root plants	drgade	09/09/04
Recently, I saw a show on TV where they were explaining how to make a rooting material out of Willow branches. I got the part about cutting 4" pieces of willow, smashing them, boiling water and putting the pieces in it after removing from the heat. What I don't remember is the amount of this solution to use when trying to root cuttings from flowers. Can any of you give me more information on this process?

Hi DrGade, What a silly idea to boil willowbranches!! They wil die and never get any roots! Willow is the easiest tree to get roots of all trees! Put some branches into a can of water and after some weeks they wil be rooted. Cooking willow branches is needed to make baskets of them! As far as I know, there is no boiling method for any plant to let them root. Greetings, GreenConnectionNL
