HI,
I STARTED BY WRAPPING THE 5 CUTTINGS IN MOIST PAPER TOWELS AND PUT THEM IN A PLASTIC BAG.
I PUT THE BAG ON TOP OF THE REFRIGERATOR WHERE IT IS NICE AND WARM OUT ON MY BACK PORCH WERE THEY ARE AWAY FROM LIGHTS. IN ABOUT A WEEK I HAD GREEN LEAVES STARTING TO SPROUT - I THEN TRANSFERED THEM TO SOME 16OZ. PLASTIC CUPS THAT I PUT 5 DRAIN HOLES AT THE BOTTOM AND 8 HOLES IN THE SIDES (4 HOLES ABOUT 2 INCHES UP FROM BOTTOM AND 4 HOLES 5 INCHES FROM BOTTOM- HOLES ARE 3/16TH IN DIA.) I FILLED THE CUPS WITH EQUAL PARTS OF VERMERCLITE AND PERLITE.  I THEN WATERED THE CUPS AND PUT THEM IN A SEED STARTER LITTLE GREEN HOUSE (TABLE MODEL)THAT HAS A HEATER IN THE FLOOR AND VENT HOLES AND I ALSO PUT IN A CUP HALF FILLED WITH WATER. I STARTED THIS PROJECT ON APRIL 15TH AND I HAVE 3 THAT HAVE LEAVES AND ROOTS.
I LIVE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA AND THIS IS GETTING ADDICTIVE I ONLY WANTED TO START WITH ONE AND I NOW HAVE 3 THAT I AM GROWING IN BIG POTS THAT I BOUGHT IN THOSE HOME CENTER STORES. I HAVE A CELESTE, ISCHIA (GREEN I THINK), A MAGNOLIA AND 5 CUTTINGS OF
SAL G'S MT. EDNA. THAT I BOUGHT FROM E BAY.
