I make this disclaimer because this morning I turned on the lights of a new indoor growing operation and I don’t want to trigger any infrared detectors that might be patrolling the area.
This is prime time for marijuana growers and for the agents who deploy by ground and air with high-tech devices to eradicate their illegal crops. My plants are legal and I don’t want to get raided.
After years of planning to try propagating plants, I finally potted (excuse the term) my first cuttings a couple weeks ago. I plan to nurture the clones of my mother plants (more suspicious terms, I know) until they take root and can be transplanted.
For the record, I have four dozen rhododendron cuttings, about that many oakleaf hydrangea cuttings, and 10 cuttings from the trumpet vine that wraps around the screened porch. I also plan to take cuttings from the Japanese maple by the gate.
Using methods that I got from the Internet (there is a trove of information out there on cloning plants, recreational and otherwise), I trimmed the cuttings, scarred their stems, dipped them into rooting hormone and placed them in cups filled with peat moss and perlite.
The cups went into propagators I bought at K-Mart (also known as plastic boxes for storing stuff under the bed). I misted the cuttings every morning and kept them on the screened porch where they would get the light but not the heat of the sun.
