I see green. We could only hope.

Some of the Celeste and Yellow Greek cuttings that I received from Forum members are showing sprouts. Have not seen any roots form. But the cuttins are promising.

Thanks Gloria for the Celeste and Aaron for yellow Greek. Very Grateful.

Will post pictures soon.

Good luck with the roots!

First picture is of Celeste cutting and the second one is of the Yellow Greek.

Seeing green is a good sign as long as the roots are emerging, good growing.

Such live healthy opening leaf buds are a good sign of potential rooting success.
Just make sure not to over-water after transfer to potting mix.

You will need roots to keep those leaves hydrated. Bottom heat drives root growth. Keep them in the humidity chamber until you see many roots.

Congrats, Looks like you did something Right! Good Luck! : )

Thanks for all your replies.

@Rich - Yes, they are still in the humidity chamber. I will not be pulling them out until I see strong roots. I have been dosing the perlite medium every 4 days with Canna Rhizotonic, so hopefully it should help.

@Alan - Yes, I used non scented wax like I used to do with other varieties of plant cuttings. So far, the wax seems to help.

Progress :
Cuttings potted on 12/04
Today : 12/17
Sprouts from all three varieties in the box. U - Oak island, Gloria - Celeste, Aaron - yellow Greek.

Used clonex rooting gel. Open end coated with unscented candle wax.
Sprouting in 100 % perlite, temps reading between 77 and 81, Rich's method of sprouting, in humidity chamber, except cuttings are in plastic bags instead of quart deli containers.
Dosing with recommended strength rhizotonic, one ounce each cutting, every 4 days.

THANKS FOR WONDERFUL SUPPORT AND GREAT INFORMATION FROM ALL FORUM MEMBERS.

I have potted a second batch yesterday, same method, different varieties of cuttings.
Charlie's U Celeste
Aaron's 4 varieties of cold hardy cuttings.

Peace !!!!
