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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 unrooted Theves Poplar cuttings, each approximately 10-12 inches long.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836018688310,"sku":"FOLIA2-1846","price":79.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6588028488_ip7q.jpg?v=1793097397","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/10-unrooted-theves-poplar-cuttings-populus-nigra-afghanica-10-12-inch-easy-to-root","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
