I should have thought the longer you leave them as cuttings and keep them alive to grow stronger, the better they will grow as bonsai. I've got juniper cuttings I made 2 years ago - they're still cuttings, and still alive. I just keep watering tem. SJ.

I guess that depends on the size of the pot they are in. I would leave then in at the minimum of 2-3 months, or once they start pushing lots of growth and you know they have rooted well.

My piece, called 'taking cuttings', is in the 'Articles' forum. This could help anyone else taking cuttings.
