Zen Peddler Posted April 3, 2012 I was brush cutting and got distracted and chopped the plant at the base completely. Ive placed it in water and then I was going to add it to some propagation mix (well my wife was actually) - think it will be ok? Will it shoot roots in the water?

Bert&Ernie Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) i just did a bit of light reading supposedly they need humidity and some rooting hormone just place it in some potting soil and perlite Edited April 3, 2012 by jwerta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Distracted Posted April 3, 2012 ok you got me! Is it a big plant? No experience here... but it's it's fairly small you should be able to root it out again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oops that has got to suck Khat are hard to root if it is small I would recut it , dip it in rooting powder and plant in propagating mix. Because of the lenght of time they can take to root I would also put it in humdity. I would also clean around the stump as it could send out suckers from the stump itself or from the roots. I would also give it a feed of seasol Cheers Got 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted April 3, 2012 hi! the plant will re shoot from the base, so no problem. the parts you chopped off, cut in 3 node lengh's, remove 70% of the leaves, dip in hormone, place into a soft drink bottle glass house. but it's too late in the season to strike without bottom heat. http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26122&st=0&p=279106&hl=+catha%20+edulis&fromsearch=1entry279106 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanVolle Posted April 7, 2012 hello i don't know what a khat is but i might be able to help just dip it to some rooting powder (it's said) and maybe mist it to prevent too much water loss, otherwise, i doubt it'll root. maybe cover it cellophane and mist it? i don't know if shrooms or fungi ill grow there though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitewind Posted April 7, 2012 I have had most success with rooting Khat over winter, so your timing couldn't be better. Keep damp over winter and so long as it keeps its leaves on don't move it or check for roots until spring. I reckon the mother plant will reshoot from the base, it seems like they evolved to handle grazing animals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
