I dig humus/rotted leaf/bark litter from the base or stump of a large oak. This i use for potting soil. i use a pot with large drainage holes. Cut stems for starts with 4 growing buds. Pinch the leaves off the 2 lower buds and bury them. Put several starts in a pot. Some will not survive. Keep moist. Place pot in bright, but not too much direct sunlight. I start mine in spring and fall. Leave potted after new growth starts for 2 months. I live in the woods with lots of oaks and shade so this works well for me. Quote \| Reply \| Report
