Hello!  Last year I tried rooting some older cuttings and did not have success.  I only tried a few and put the rest back in the fridge.  They are in a plastic zipper bag, some have some mold on them and some look shriveled but still green when scratched.

I was thinking about giving them a go for rooting and thought maybe just stick them in some dirt in containers outside and see what they do.

These are cuttings I acquired at least 2 years ago, maybe 3 - I really don't remember and they are not dated. 

Any thoughts about trying to root these old cuttings in this way?  I am working on the inside of my house and don't have the space for tubs of cuttings.

If anyone has any other suggestion please mention it! :)

Throw the moldy ones out. The ones that show green can be tried.

Thanks Jon! 

Here is an old post about using a hot water method to revive older cuttings.  It's worth a shot.

I once rooted Italian Honey cuttings that had been stored in the fridge for 3+ years. It does seem to depend on the variety to some degree. Some don't seem to hold up as well as others, even when stored in identical conditions.

Cant' hurt to give it a shot though.

Did you wrap them in moist paper then zip lock them? When keeping your future cuttings dormant but "alive"
you can vacuum seal DRY cuttings or simply use a straw to suck the air out of a zip lock bag prior to sealing.
May take practice to get it right. This eliminates the moisture and air factors that allow mold to form. 

I think you should give it your best try. Afteralk, if they have "survived'" this long then these cuttings really want to live. Go for it!
