Prepare the soil

Make sure your soil has good drainage at the bottom. An inch of perlite at the bottom allows for good drainage. Add your preferred soil mixture over the perlite. Thoroughly water the soil.

Make a hole for the clone

Make a hole in the soil for the clone. Once you have the hole, put the clone in the hole to see if it is large enough.

Add beneficial microbes

Beneficial microbes help clones by reducing transplant shock through stimulation of new root growth. Place a half portion, based on the directions for the specific beneficial microbes you are using, in the bottom of the hole.

Plant the clone

Place the clone directly on top of the beneficial microbes for great root contact. Put the other half-portion of microbes directly on top of the root ball.

Cover with soil

Cover the clone with about two inches of damp, prepared soil.

Water the container

To determine when to stop watering, lift the container beforehand to gauge its weight. Once you add water, compare the weight to the initial measurement.

Begin watering slowly all around the container, to prevent dry spots and avoid disturbing the soil. Continue watering until you see runoff.
