- Subject: [NAFEX] grape callusing
- Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 08:23:18 -0700
Hello,
I am trying to callus a small group of grape
cuttings as a 'practice run' for a larger group I will be doing this spring. The
cuttings were well hydrated. I dipped them in rooting powder and planted
them in potting soil in a 1 gallon plastic pot and used a heat lamp to maintain
a soil temperature of 80-85 degrees. After several weeks there wasn't any
callus. I put them back in the heat for another week or two, and still no
callus, but green buds are pushing out. Can the cuttings essentially rot before
they callus when in soil? Would it be better to use something more sterile
like perlite? My intention was to let them callus and root directly in the
pots, and I could plant them in their permanent location this spring. What
would happen if the ends of the cuttings were clipped a little shorter to expose
fresh cambium and start over?
