How to propagate Japanese Maples from Cuttings (Step by Step)

In this video, we will show you how to propagate Japanese maples from cuttings. The best time to do this is in late Spring to early Summer when you have lots of new shoots and leaves are hardened off. You can easily make lots of cuttings out of branches that you prune during this time.

Key takeaway:
1. Make cuttings out of new shoots/branches that elongated & are hardened off this Spring for the best chance. (not a soft one...also hardened wood is possible but less chance)
2. Leave only 2-4 leaves to control transpiration
3. Use Akadama or mix of peat moss and bark/potting soil
4. Before planting, put cuttings in the water for 1-2 days and dip it into a rooting hormone powder
5. Plant cuttings deep enough so it will not move (If it constantly move, it won't root)
6. If needed, use a wire (U shaped) to stabilize the cutting so it will not move. This helps a lot.
7. Keep the soil adequately moist and avoid direct sun/heat.
