Date parsed: 6/5/2007 4:57:37 PM Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2007 14:57:37 -0400 Hi, I want to graft some bushes. They are already about 2-feet high. I tried cutting a small branch (4 inches) and put it in some miracle grow soil with a root stimulator solution but it died within 2 days. Any ideas on how to graft?

Are you trying to "graft" or "root" ?

What you are trying to do is "root" them. Some will, some won't. Try
bending a branch to the ground and covering a length with dirt for a
year or so. Or wrap it with peat moss, wet it, wrap with plastic and
tie the plastic in place and see what happens over multiple months.
