these days, we are all trying to avoid making special trips to garden
shops for tomato plant. I just recently stuck tomato cuttings in the
ground casually without any hormones. I put top open white containers
and kept them moist. Now I have 3 out of 4 growing, at least still look
happy and green. I did actually experimented this with 100% success in
the past.<br>......<br>All of my cuttings, 2 inch or less barely, were
the tips of the small seedlings. Too small but that’s all I had. Ideally
they should be long enough to stand in the ground firmly. The one that
did not make it was the smallest and basically dried out before the
rooting process gets a chance.<br>......<br>Read somewhere once, that if
you plant your plant, let it grow a bit, and then take out the suckers
growing out between the plant and the leaf stem, plant thos = high rate
of success. <br> Only tried it a couple times and seemed to work very well. <br><br>And,
you keep taking them out and getting more shoots to plant. I probably
let mine grow to five or six inches before I cut them out, larger than I
would have left them if I'd not been planning to plant them out for a
new plant. </div><div><br></div></div></div></body></html>
