What this sheet is for
Record what struck and what did not, so your own conditions become the reference instead of a general table.
Who it is for
Gardeners taking cuttings, nurseries, plant societies and anyone propagating to sell or to swap.
How to use it
- Write the batch number on the tray label in pencil as well as here.
- Record the parent plant well enough that you can go back to it.
- Count what struck honestly and write the number, not an impression.
- Note the best results at the end of the year — that is the sheet's whole payoff.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Cuttings, divisions and seed raised at home — what was taken, from what, when, and how many actually struck.
Your results are the reference. No rooting times, hormone treatments or methods are printed here. They differ by plant and by season, and the point of keeping a propagation record is to learn what works in your conditions rather than to follow a table.
How to use this sheet
- Label the tray with the same batch number you write here, in pencil.
- Record the parent plant well enough to go back to it.
- Count what struck, honestly, and write the strike rate — it is the only figure that tells you whether to change anything.

Questions
Why no rooting times or hormone guidance?
Because they differ by plant, by season and by how you keep them, and the reason to keep a propagation record is to learn what works where you are. After two seasons your own sheet beats any general table.
