From my experience hops are pretty easy to propigate. I trimmed off the lower 2' of sidearms from my plants last year because I read something about that helping keep pests off of the plants. Anyway I stripped them of leaves from the lower 3" or so, poked my finger into the dirt, stuck them in, and packed the dirt around. About half of the, rooted and started to grow fairly well (6-10'). About half of those actually survived the winter and are doing quite well now.
Good luck with yours. |

This is great news. Any pictures, and how did you cut them? Were they leaf cuttings of the actual bine? If bines were they the whole bine or segments of the same?

Would this follow along the same lines of canes from grape vines?

I put one of my cuttings, 6 inches long or so, in a glass of water indoors, and after a couple of weeks it had sprouted roots. Put it in a small pot, and it's still alive. The tip withered away, but now it's got 12 inches or so of side arms and lots of new leaves.

My cuttings were extra bines coming out of the ground. The longest was about 12" and the shortest 4". Since my plants are first year I kept three bines and trimmed the rest flush with the ground. I cut off any leaves from the bottom 4", dipped them in rooting hormone powder, and planted them in potting soil. I then kept the plant out of the hot mid day sun and the soil very wet for the first two weeks. For the first week the bine would droop if the soil dried just a little so I kept the potting soil saturated. Then I started giving it full sun and backed off to keeping the soil well watered but not saturated for a week or more and now I am backing off to a more normal watering schedule.

I took some cutting and just buried all but a few inches leaving the tip exposed. Of the 3 I have done so far, 2 seem to be continuing to live after 2 weeks. No new growth but they do have nice green leaves.

I'm experimenting right now with the extra bines the plant sends up. Since I'm only keeping 6 bines usually, if another comes up I'll pull it out, this seems to actually disconnect it further undrground and it comes up with a few roots. I stuck one of these in a glass of water on the window sill and it has been going good for a week and has grown 3-4 inches. I'm just out of places to plant.
I may start playing "Johnny Appleseed" and go around to vacant areas and plant hops near trees/poles and see what happens.

Ignore post count. I dumb

This spring I just stuck a spade in at the side of last years hops and cut out a chunk of the roots. Last year's hops are doing great, despite the "surgery". The new ones from the old roots are at about 12 feet, although still a little skinny, they look better than last year's that were planted as rhizomes.
