NOTE: This listing is for cuttings of this plant, no roots. We do not guarantee your personal success in rooting these successfully as we have no ability or say with how it will be cared for (lighting, medium choice, watering habits, airflow, etc…) and cannot be responsible for issues that arise from situations we have no control over including our hardiness zone and care recommendations. You will find our rooting instructions below and recommendations for care and hardiness zones.

WEATHER NOTE: Because we ship from Ohio, we will not guarantee how your items will arrive if you do not add a heat pack to your order when temperatures are below 40° in the shipping state and surrounding areas.

Rooting Instructions for Blushing Lilac Krasavitsa Moskvy Cuttings:
1. Optional Rooting Hormone: Dip the cut end of the cutting into rooting hormone powder, if desired, to encourage root growth.
2. Prepare Pot and Soil: Use a small container with a well-draining soil mix, such as a combination of peat, perlite, and vermiculite.
3. Plant the Cutting: Insert the cut end of the cutting into the soil, ensuring it’s about 1-2 inches deep.
4. Watering: Lightly water the cutting, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Make sure the soil stays slightly moist during the rooting process.
5. Light: Place the cutting in a spot with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can dry out the cutting.
6. Temperature and Humidity: Keep the temperature between 70-75°F (21-24°C) and the humidity high. Cover the cutting with a plastic bag or humidity dome to maintain moisture.
7. Root Development: Check for roots after about 2-4 weeks by gently tugging on the cutting. If there’s resistance, the cutting has rooted.
8. Transplanting: Once the cutting has rooted, it can be transplanted into a larger pot with well-draining soil.
