A couple weeks ago I took a few curly willow cuttings and brought them inside and stuck them in a vase full of water. They rooted within 5-7 days and the leaf buds opened up and I have green! I am sure that any easy to root hardwood would do the same, like wiegela, or shrub dogwood. Its worth a try!

yes ... two shop lights... able to adjust height .... regular fluorescent lights.... sorta like this ... but of course... you don't need 4 levels.. perhaps i got carried away ...lol:

building a bench ought to keep you busy for a awhile.... lol ..

then.. start drinking milk ... buy a huge bag of perlite ... garbage can size was about $15 at a good nursery ... while you are there.. get some rooting powder/hormone ... $7 .... then come up with something like this ....:

take a few cutting of anything you can get your hands on .... a quick trip through google using "propagating XXXX" ... where XXX is the latin name of a plant ... and you will get info on what is possible .. but what the heck.. try everything....

there is a tree forum.. not many root ...

there is a shrub forum ... some root in winter.. some dont ...

there is a conifer forum ... some root.. many dont.. hence grafting ...

if you do 100 and get 10 ... what the heck .. you avoided suicidal boredom .. lol ... but.. fear success ... what the heck will you do with them all ...

sterilize everything... wash everything in 10% bleach .... heat soils/perlite in the microwave.. right in the milk jug ... link below .... its easier to avoid problems .. rather than cure them .... link below ...

adjust lights to 2 inches above the top of whatever you put under them ... 18 to 24 hours per day ....

good luck
