Hello! First time poster here. Getting ready to do some dormant, hardwood High Bush blueberry cuttings. Beyond the how-to of harvesting cuttings, I haven't been able to find a straightforward step-by-step of what this looks like.
I have seen that most people keep them inside, with bottom heat and a mister. Is keeping them indoors necessary? If so, what size pots do people generally put them in? Is a 4 inch pot per cutting taking up too much real-estate? Alternatively, are six cell trays too stingey? Also, is a mister necessary, or can I get by with a humidity dome?
Or, can they be stuck in rooting medium outdoors and exposed to the elements? Perhaps winter sowing them in jugs? Or in pots/trays with a heating pad outdoors? Same questions about size of containers.
I have hormex rooting powder in strengths one, three, and eight. From the research I've done, it sounds like going with strength level eight is the way to go. Rooting medium "should" be a mix of peat, sand, and perlite. Open to others' experiences on this.
Thanks for the input, friends! I appreciate learning from the wisdom of the community!
