Can I do so now or should I wait until later.I have 50M of soil warming cable, would using this speed up rooting. 1 Answers 0 Vote Up Vote Down Gerry Daly Staff answered 7 years ago Box roots very easily and the cuttings are normally taken in September and rooted in a cold frame, or even in the open ground. Box can be rooted in late spring or summer too and soil warming would help, by speeding up rooting, though it is not essential.
