Forgot about this,
Yesterday I took cuttings from one dahlia plant,
Using a mix of 1 third perlite and two thirds cutting compost I dipped one in hormone rooting powder one in honey and one in just the potting mix.
Both cuttings were approx the same size, after trimming.
Bunged them in an old plastic greenhouse to grow on.
I will let you know how they develop

I don't know when you took the cuttings Rehab, so anything happening yet? Any noticeable differences?

Yesterday, I wanted cuttings of about 3 inches so had to wait till now
As expected they have wilted slightly, water loss through the remaining leaves, they should end up looking like this....

Re: Rooting Hormone

Mups I don't know if you have ever used 'Rootgrow' mycorrhizal fungi, it is endorsed by the RHA.

"At RHS Garden Wisley, we use Rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi when planting trees and shrubs and we are now starting to use it when planting perennials.
https://www.crocus.co.uk/product/_/r...id.2000012047/
I purchased some new perpetual strawberry plants last week (Mara des bois) from 'Ken Muir ' and they looked sorry little things when they arrived but I used a tiny packet of Rootgrow which arrived with them it cost me £2:25 and I am amazed at how well the strawberries have taken and grown in just a week .
They mention it a lot on 'Gardener's question time' on the radio.

I will certainly be using it on precious new plants from now on

Oddly enough I saw that for sale in Wilco’s the other day, something like £7 or £8 a packet, I was on two minds whether to buy some, I wish I had now reading what you said.

That's quite a lot Rehab I only bought 60g to try ..

A 60g pack of rootgrow™ will treat approximately 2-3 bare rooted fruit trees, 10 bare rooted canes or hedging plants, 1 x 10 litre pot grown tree/plant or 12 strawberry plants.
