Can you take cuttings from aRhododendron Plant to grow roots and plant eventullay ?

don't know about cuttings but in my work they,ve layered a few and got new plants that way.
where a low branch can touch the soil, scrape some of the bark off and press it into the soil and pin it there or place a small rock on it. in time it will grow roots and you can severe it from the main plant.

Usernut is right but it will take years for the Rhododendron to grow to anything of a size to flower. Take a look at http://www.flounder.ca/FraserSouth/basics/propagation.asp for lots of info

Layers will take at least two years before they have rooted successfully and be removed from the parent plant

I did 'aerial layering' on one of my Rhodos. This involves wounding a branch in early summer, you stuff a bit of moss and rooting power into the wound, then you wrap a mixure of moss and ericaeous comp around the wound and wrap it all up in a plastic bag. Mine was well rooted by the following spring, I severed it and potted it up. My cutting is now 2 years old. It has not yet flowered but is doing well. I'm hoping for flowers next year :-)

Sid... dream on! Why do yo think that Rhodo's cost so much to buy?

Erm...what do you mean Mg? I've done this and it worked......I think I will get flowers next year as the buds are already fattening up nicely as they are on my mature Rhodos. It's about 40 cm tall and has several branches already.

Hi Sid from cutting to flowering size, so I'm told, is around 5 years... hence the 'dream on' :-)

Hi Mg - oh I see ;-) I will have to post a picture of my baby some time! lol
