Cuttings at 3 1/2 months

Bill It took right around 4 to 5 weeks to start seeing roots and one other thing I forgot to mention I use clonex rooting gel on all my cuttings

Quick questions, Dave. Did you start in cups of coir and pot up to 1 gallons or once they showed promise in the coir (ie. buried horizontally in a bag or container), you immediately placed them in 1 gallons? If you automatically placed them in 1 gallons, how long did it take you to start watering? It's been almost two months for me in 1 gallon pots and I still haven't watered.

I started them in a small cup in the coir and transferred them to the 1 gallon pots , I started watering immediately Pro-mix dries out every 4 to 5 days if yours is staying wet for 2 months you might have a problem with root rot , 2 months is way too long to stay wet , might be time to change your soil mix

My plants seem to be doing fine. After seeing initials, I placed them all into 1 gallon pots from the get go. There wasn't much moisture to begin with.. just a large pot for a small cutting :) Thanks!

Alma, you might want to drape gallon zip bags over the tops of your cuttings/pots to help keep the humidity levels very high around the cuttings. Ive found this really encourages growth. Good luck.

Wow, great looking cuttings for 3-1/2 months!!

My 3-1/2 month cuttings have gone outdoors.  I've got some rooting, but they'll go outside soon, too.
