Weeping bottlebrush 'Little John' thrives when propagated through cuttings, a practical method that ensures genetic consistency. To propagate successfully, use semi-hardwood cuttings, ideally with several leaf nodes. A hormone rooting powder can encourage root growth, but isn't mandatory. Preparing a suitable potting mix that offers good drainage and aeration is critical. Ensure that the cutting is inserted deeply enough to support itself, and maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging. Sheltering the cuttings from strong winds and direct, harsh sunlight will improve survival rates and promote healthy root development.
