How to root kratom cuttings – Peat Pod/ Soil Method (2nd Method)
Peat Pod/ Soil Method (Other Method)
For best results inflate the zip lock bag and place it under a strong indirect light source. We get decent results just relying on a South facing window but see much better results under some sort of bright indirect light (LED, Fluro, HPS). The Kratom Bible is available here on the #kratomAPP
Rooting
Typically takes up to around 3 weeks for the cuttings to begin to root.
Watering
If the ziplock bag stays sealed water loss will be almost nothing. Misting our pouring a table spoon or two of water in there when the pod starts to firm up is recommended.
Lighting Options
Artificial lighting methods allow for quicker rooting. However a South facing window will suffice.
Repotting
Once your cuttings establish roots, you will want to move them to a 3inch pot. Plant the entire pod and rootball in the new pot (potting soil works best).
Note from the grower
Your unrooted cuttings have already been cut back to the freshest node, and covered in rooting hormone.
How high should the humidity be?
Lastly, we add the cutting to a plastic Zip Lock like bag or you can take them out and put them into a very large plastic container. Regardless of how you are rooting them you need to ensure that the plants are kept in high humidity at all times. Do not leave the cuttings out of the bag for more then 20 min at a time. These plants require 80 – 100% humidity at all times.

Best Method to Root Kratom Cuttings – Water Jug Method
Rooting
Typically takes up to around 3 weeks for the cuttings to begin to root.
Watering
Add 1 gallon of rain or pond water to your gallon jug. DO NOT USE regular store water or water from the tap. There are chemicals that will kill the plants. Check your water levels once a week. Replace any water that has evaporated from the jug.
Cuttings
You can add as many cuttings to the gallon jug that will hold at the top. However we recommend only a few per gallon. As this will make it easier to inspect and remove your cuttings without damaging any roots on the other cuttings. Roots are quite fragile and will come off easily. If your cuttings do not touch the bottom on the gallon that is fine. You only need 1/3 of the cutting to be above water. Anywhere that the water touches, roots will develop over time.
Lighting Options
Artificial lighting methods allow for quicker rooting. However a South facing window will suffice.
Repotting
Once your cuttings establish roots, you will want to move them to a 3inch pot. Plant the entire pod and rootball in the new pot (potting soil works best). Here are some videos to help you.
Roots
While examining your cutting you will notice that anywhere the water is touching. Any wooded growth will turn into green new growth. After a while in the water it will develop white little bumps. These are roots. They will turn into little white worms. We recommend letting the roots gain a bit of length before placing them in soil.
Note from the grower
Your unrooted cuttings have already been cut back to the freshest node, and covered in rooting hormone.
While in the water jug. The leaf on the cuttings will look droopy. This is normal. This is due the water evaporating.

Process Unrooted Kratom Cuttings – How to Guide – When we process our kratom cuttings we always follow the same process. First, we take the cutting off the tree and clean the nodes and extra leaf off of each cutting. It is important to note that kratom cuttings do not require leaf on the cutting to produce roots. In fact, having large leaf on a cutting can be a disadvantage as leaf requires larger water consumption from the cutting. This is why we cut our leaf into a triangle shape.

The next step requires adding rooting hormone. We have found that the best way to ensure rooting is to use a lot of rooting hormone. As much as possible. We strive to ensure that each cutting has the highest success rate possible. After adding rooting hormone the next step is to place the cutting in the soil medium. Wither it is peat pods, soil, or peet pods a good soil medium will be required to allow these plants to succeed. You can even grow these plants hydroponically, however we will be providing the rooting medium. If you are planning to grow hydroponically do add more rooting hormone after taking out of soil medium.

How to ship Rooted Kratom Plants – USA
How to ship Rooted Kratom Plants
It is not hard to ship plants in the mail. In this video below we show you how to ship rooted kratom plants in the mail. First you start by prepping your shipping container. A good easy way is to use large two liter soda bottles. Cut the soda bottles in half and place the base of your rooted kratom plant in the bottom of the soda bottle. It is best to add some lightly damp to dry paper towel to the bottom to add as padding around the base. Next tape in your cutting with packing tape along the top of the cut in half soda bottle and top of your cuttings pot. Add tape till you cover the soil completely, but remember to leave room for the stem. Next you will add the top of the soda bottle to create a protective shell to protect the top of the plant. Tape up both halves of the soda bottle with packing tape to seal them together. Now you are all set to ship these cuttings in the mail.
How to store Fresh Kratom Leaf in Honey
I already have one more batch of honey on hand..lol The expensive honey is not necessary tho. I’m amazed at how well the leaves held up. I expected to find a bag of GOO resembling an ecoli party! I’ll keep you posted as the experiment continues. I already think this stuff will make a great gift IF I can think of how to get the honey lined up to arrive about the same time. But I have only had an hour or so to think on it. More later! 👍
Left is while I’m still digging out one more leaf. The stems are not ALWAYS cooperative, but I was able to separate the leaves enough to keep the measurement of 3 leaves (various sized). Right photo is while I’m chewing the last leaf. While the edges of the leaves look brown/dead on some, they arrived that way! Finally upon closing the bag, I squeeze out the air very easily. Like how a clear screen cover on a phone. The bubbles are minimal and you just squeeze them out easily while zipping it back up. Swallowing almost complete at 3:40PM Pacific time. Keeping in mind that I JUST ATE, I already notice clarity as I’m typing. The leaves still taste nasty, but the chewing process is MUCH EASIER than regular live kratom leaves. I ate all veins except the middle stem, from halfway up the leaf up. Everything else is fully consumed in short order. I’m still chewing the last bits at 3:44PM! Not bad!
Here’s a better photo of the closed bag. The brown edges are part brown leaf edge but also honey. Thr shiny stuff is just reflection. This takes quite a lot of honey. So it’s not necessarily practical for shipping. Except it’s necessary! The honey is a brilliant way to make the chewing continue without a hitch. I think I used 12 oz of honey, maybe more. I am giggling about all of this but I do think more experimenting under different circumstances will be helpful. The good news is, I don’t need you to send more! I’ve got a LOT of leaf left to continue various tests!
I recommend turning the bag every day a couple of times if possible to keep the honey touching everything evenly, but it may not be necessary
Swallowing complete 3:51 PM Pacific Time
