camellia tree cuttings

[Gazergirlstar]

i had a coworker bring me some camellia tree cuttings , i have them in water right now and have stripped off some of the bark on the bottom, i was wondering if anyone has propagated camellia cuttings before with any success ?

I did it with about 20 cuttings of various camellia species/varieties with “some” success (maybe 20-30%…but I don’t really remember).
Root tone will help , and you might consider a “tent” method to keep humidity high while they root. It can take 6-8 weeks to root.

I think I took my cuttings too early, so you may have better success rate.
