Update on Acer palmatum Arakawa cuttings - Growing Bonsai
After nearly one year I can tell these Japanese maple cuttings have rooted and survived their first year. Nice to see this work so effectively.www.growingbonsai.net

Thing is im trying to not spend money on things like pots and perlite and fertilizer. Rooting hormones etc. Are also out of the question. Im doing things the hard way because i have plenty of time. Also there are people who will see all the extra bits like fertilizer perlite moss shiny pots not to mention root rakes rooting hormones pesticides and get put off. Im doing something that anyone can follow along to hence my growing lots of fruit trees. Everyone has access to some citrus fruit or the likes all around the world

You’re either a brilliant troll or terrible at reading a room.... these guys are doing their best to help you but owe you absolutely nothing. If you continue to post in this forum with the abrasiveness you currently are, you’ll probably begin to see fewer and fewer responses on your posts. People can and will mute you if they dont want to deal with/hear from you. If you’re really after the best information i would tone it down on defending yourself and being generally smug, which the majority of folks participating in this thread can likely agree you are constantly doing....

I’ll be honest, I doubt anyone is going to use your thread or YouTube channel to learn how to root cuttings when there are proven, reliable methods well documented already

And when you do decide to splash out on all the shiny extra bits:

And Nelson Mandela and Johnny Clegg and Savuka, I know, I saw them in France long before June 1991.
Read "A dry White Season" in 1979 too. at that time, we were boycotting "Outspan oranges".
Among other things, I also had my (English-learning) pupils read and study "A journey to Jo'burg".
I didn't get stuck in past days, I also read "Triomf" (in English), which shows how anyone can become part of the lumpen-proletariat, whatever their origins, colour, religion, or else :

But I didn't know that "south" was written "soutj" in Afrikaans.But it's so hard to catch the music of a foreign language, like when I was about 13, this was a hit in France, but no one could sing it, "click-languages" are so difficult. Yet, it was a kind of happy cloud we danced on.
At that time, I didn't know much about foreign languages, or politics, except that I made no difference between my friends, I saw their colours, vaguely knew about their cultural (religious) background, but didn't even realise about that, they were just my friends.
"Soutj" ?
I was just suggesting to correct the spelling : "South" is "Suid" in afrikaans, isn't it ? "Zuiden" in Dutch, nô ?

You’re missing the point of my post, which was to say that we both are in a similar situation, yet I’m being humble and thankful to have this wealth of knowledge in front of me yet you’re being arrogant and divisive and condescending. As I said, “we both have everything to learn”. No, I do not have any Bonsai, and I’m not deluded enough to think my pre-bonsai count. But I’ve got many many plants and have grown edibles outside, along with my current few yamadori young plants and such. I’ve grown many plants from cuttings and seed. I’m not going to argue with you, and I hope that you can take from this that it’s good to stay humble and have a sense of humility when entering a new hobby or art form. There’s a deep pool here and you can’t take your way through swimming but for so long

But you were being a dick. And to be honest. From what I read here. You continue to do so.
I do not make an issue out of spelling mistakes. I have dated a girl that was dyslectic and I myself do not always see my own spelling mistakes. I orefer to give people slack over those silly things. Life is full of real issues already

2 WEEK UPDATE WITH PICS
The cuttings in the partial sun all started to brown at around the same time at the 1 week mark. They started turning at the edges just like what i am used to with my previous attempts. I left them there just for fun. They started creating new buds 2days ago and the buds i had previously removed are now red and swelling. That never happened before. They are also not as dry as the previous attempts and i am still leaning towards the too much heat and humidity was killing my cuttings issue. Here are the pics from the cuttings in partial sun. One of the cuttings still have green in the middle although the rest of the leaves are brown. My pics are not great sorry but you get the idea?
