My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How do I start cuttings?

19 years ago

I have tried to start forsythia suckers that someone gave me but they are dying. I put them in a mixture of sphagmum peat moss and perlite. I used rooting compound and have been keeping the mixture moist. What am I doing wrong? What's the best way to start cuttings and such?
