Hi OttawanZ5 : I did place 2 holes in the bottom and 5 to 6 holes near the bottom but my biggest mistakes should be too wet and less air inside of the cup and kill my cuttings. As suggested, I will try some to-morrow to see if I can do something to help them growing again. Thanks............. The cuttings were giving to me by two nice members from this forum, now I let them down with sorry !!!
