I would like to know how to root impatiens from clippings?
Impatiens can be easily propagated from softwood cuttings.
- Take 4"-5" cuttings, and remove all but the top couple leaves.
- Fill small pots with vermiculite or peat. Moisten potting media.
- Take a freshly cut piece and wet the cut end and roll it in some rooting hormone product. i.e. Dip-N-Grow, Root-tone
- Insert the cuttings into the vermiculite or peat
- Cover the pots with plastic and keep in a warm place out of direct sunlight. Uncover once a day
- Cuttings should root in about 6 - 8 weeks.
