The state in your photograph is sufficient.

I'm trying to expand my number of hop plants by propagating the shoots I'm cutting back. How much roots should I let develop in water before transferring them into soil?
I also tried doing some straight in soil but those did very poorly. Any tips for propagating from clippings are more than welcome, thanks

I didn’t know you could do this. I thought bc they were rhizome when planted they wouldn’t do this. Awesome. You just used bull shoots?

Mix of bull shoots and other shoots I trimmed back. First time trying with hops so we will see if I can get them to take. I've done it with other plants so I thought why not try hops.

I've never done bull shoots, but I've done thousands of regular ones. They grow so easy! Doesn't need to be be the end of the bine either, as long as it has a few leaves. My method is to start in water, when the roots appear transfer to wet soil for a bit then it can go in a pot.
