Description: Can I use potting soil for cuttings? Well, the answer is yes and no. Clear as mud, right? When propagating plants, most cuttings should by stuck in an inert material that drains well and is free of nutrients. This is to prevent bacteria and fungus from taking hold and prevent water saturation in compacted material. These things will undoubtedly cause rot in your defenseless little cuttings. Once they root, then you can up pot to a nutrient rich potting soil and fertilize. Remember, your cuttings don't need nutrients until they root. They have all the nutrition they need, stored up in their tissues.
