Planting the European Black Elderberry Cuttings

• Fill a container with sandy soil.
• Insert the cuttings into the soil.
• Keep the soil consistently moist, but not overly wet.
• Place the container in a warm, shady area.
• Once the cuttings take root, you will see new growth forming.
• Another method is to root the cuttings in water. Place the cuttings in a container. Add water up to about a third of the cutting’s height. Place the container in a partially shaded area. Refill with water as needed. Once the roots are well developed, transplant into individual pots.
