Default Rooting the Top
permalink
Hypothetical question. If i was to trim the Top 1.5 inches of a plant, top it on a 45 deg angle, add rooting hormone, and bend it over 180 degrees and put the Top in water-- do you think it would root??? Let's say it did root, and i planted the Top in dirt, bending the plant into an arch. Do you think their would be any benefits??? I'm doing a trial run on one of my mint plants 1st to see if it's possible with a cheaper plant before i trash one of my girls.

Hmm not only are you trying to reverse the flow of water and nutrients it intakes but you are going to be trying to draw it from both ends also, doesnt sound like something the plant is going to want to do. But you should still try it.

I thought on this for a bit and have to agree. It should root but not be to benificial, infact the stem thats now laying on the dirt will me more apt to go rotten.

Still wondering exactly what your results will be though so keep us posted.

Not per se. However I do, on occasion take a branch and chop it into 2 or more pieces and root those. It does take alot longer than standard clones so i wouldnt reccomend it unless its out of necessity.
