    In the fall I brought viburnum and chokeberry from the Urals. Planted it. I felt sorry for the scraps, so I planted them in a glass and stuck them into a green briquette from the remaining bouquet. I poured some water. Please tell me what to do next? It won’t survive in water until spring, it needs to be planted. Maybe cut the briquette carefully and plant it in a pot with a stimulant?

      Dear Fairuza Galimovna! In water, cuttings of chokeberry and viburnum root poorly or not at all. Viburnum is propagated by green cuttings. Your photo shows the escape. Cut it off, remove the bottom pair of leaves, and shorten the leaves of the top pair by half. Immerse the bottom of the cutting in a root formation stimulator (according to the instructions). Fill the pot with substrate (turf soil, sand, humus in a ratio of 3:1:1), plant the cutting in it, deepening it 1-5 cm. Cover the pot with a bag, creating a “greenhouse”. In spring, the rooted cuttings can be planted on the site. But you can leave it at home in pots until the fall, then put it in the basement for the winter. Bring the pots into the house in early spring and plant them in the garden in May. Chokeberry is propagated by woody cuttings. Cut a cutting 2-15 cm long from an existing branch. The cut at the top is made at an angle, at the bottom it is straight. It must have several developed buds. Plant the cuttings in a pot with soil at an angle of 20°, leaving 45 buds at the top, one of them should be at soil level. Compact the soil around the cuttings well, water and mulch with peat.

    Why chokeberry shrinks
    Previously, my chokeberry gave large juicy berries, but now the fruits are getting smaller every year. Foliage green, no pests found. What is the reason?

      - Aronia is a fairly unpretentious plant, but it also requires some care. You can help the plant: feed with nitrogen fertilizers, loosen the soil, apply complex fertilizers in the fall. In addition, even if the bush has not changed outwardly, be sure to carry out sanitary and formative pruning. It improves the access of sunlight to all parts of the plant.
