Insert the cut end of each cutting into the medium, ensuring at least one node is buried. Keep the medium consistently moist and provide high humidity by covering with a plastic dome or bag. Place in bright, indirect light and maintain a temperature around 65-75°F. Roots typically form within 6-8 weeks, but be patient as holly can be slow to root.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce rooted, transplant cuttings into individual pots with well-draining potting soil. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions. For best berry production, plant a male holly nearby as a pollinator. Water regularly during establishment and mulch to retain moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 English Holly Red Beauty cuttings (Ilex aquifolium 'Red Beauty').\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824733126966,"sku":"FOLIA2-1113","price":133.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7971976882_fvn9.jpg?v=1793004367","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/english-holly-red-beauty-cuttings-3-ilex-aquifolium-cuttings-for-propagation","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
