Can I put my clones straight into soil?
When you clone plants, you put a piece of a plant into soil or rockwool so that it can take root and grow. Potting soil, seed starting mix, or well composted garden soil can all be used for your plant. Normal soil dug up from your garden may not be ideal.
How do you plant clones in soil?
Make a hole in the soil and gently place the clone into it. Don’t force the cuttings into the soil or growing medium. Instead, use the end of a pencil to make a hole in the soil, then gently place the cutting inside of the hole. Use your fingertips to fill the hole and cover the roots with soil.
How do you transplant clones from water to soil?
Place your rooted clone in the center of the cup and fill in the remaining space with your soil, or soilless medium, and pack it just over the top of the starter cube. The soil should be packed gently so as not to disrupt the delicate roots or stress the clone, but also tightly so that the clone will not tip over.
When can you put clones in soil?
10-14 days
Most clones will be ready to transplant into soil in 10-14 days, but some root out quicker, and some longer. You’ll know they’re ready when the white roots are an inch or two in length. When getting ready to transplant, be sure to keep the environment sterile.
How long does it take a clone to grow roots?
seven to 10 days

How long do cuttings take to root in soil?
3-4 weeks

What do you feed clones?
Once clones are transplanted and watered into soil for about a week, you can begin to feed them with fertilizers, teas, or whichever nutrient technique you choose to employ.
