Prepare a well-draining rooting medium such as a mix of peat and perlite, and insert the cut end of each cutting after dipping in rooting hormone if desired. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain high humidity by covering with a plastic dome or bag. Place in bright, indirect light and avoid direct sun until roots form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce rooted, transplant cuttings into individual pots with well-drained potting soil. Gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions. Scarlet Firethorn prefers full sun to partial shade and regular watering during the first growing season. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune as needed to shape and maintain size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 Scarlet Firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea) cuttings for propagation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836022587702,"sku":"FOLIA2-1865","price":82.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8083471494_pofl.jpg?v=1793097428","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/scarlet-firethorn-cuttings-5-pyracantha-coccinea-for-propagation","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
