Planting & Care

To root these cuttings, insert the bottom end (the end closest to the original cut) about 4-6 inches into a well-draining rooting medium such as a mix of peat and perlite. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Place the cuttings in a warm, bright location, out of direct harsh sunlight, and maintain high humidity by covering with a plastic dome or bag if needed. Roots typically form within a few weeks.

Once rooted, transplant the cuttings into individual pots or directly into the garden after the last frost. Choose a sunny location with moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Theves Poplar is relatively low-maintenance once established, but benefits from occasional deep watering during dry spells.
