Take a cutting with at least two nodes, dip the cut end in rooting hormone (optional), and insert it into the medium. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide warm temperatures (70-75°F) and high humidity. A plastic dome or bag can help maintain humidity. Place in bright, indirect light until roots develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce rooted, transplant the young plants into individual pots with well-draining soil. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for planting in the ground. Water regularly during the first year to help establish a deep root system. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune as needed to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 unrooted Japanese Fuyu Persimmon cuttings (Diospyros kaki).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824722542902,"sku":"FOLIA2-1091","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6613777801_h4x8.jpg?v=1793004319","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/4-japanese-fuyu-persimmon-unrooted-cuttings-diospyros-kaki-easy-to-grow-sweet-fruit-tree","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
