How to prepare cuttings?
The best material for propagation is young shoots taken from the very top of the plant. But that’s just the beginning! You need to trim them properly—remove the lower needles and cut the base to create the perfect conditions for rooting.
What is the best soil mix?
The ideal rooting medium is a mixture of peat and sand. This combination provides the right moisture and aeration, helping the cuttings develop strong roots.
When is the best time to propagate thuja?
The ideal time for propagation is from late summer to early autumn (August to October). During this period, the plant is still active enough to root well before winter but not growing too vigorously. However, propagation can also be done in spring if you provide the right conditions.
