Rooting issues....

I've tried several rooting hormones and Clonex has turned out to be the best for me.  Many people find that powdered rooting hormones cause their cuttings to rot even when it's fresh.

Hi everyone and thank you for the tips!

Glenn's sister came for a few days for his birthday so I was a bit busy cooking and visiting.  I haven't checked them in a week!!  I will today, if there is mold (I am sure there is), I will wash the cuttings and microwave the moss.

I did search on the difference between Sphagnum Moss and Orchid moss and they are the same PLANT!!!  The difference is the quality of the moss.  The Mosser Lee sph moss I used in the beginning is very small pieces, dirty with a lot of foreign debris.  The orchid moss I switched to is MUCH cleaner, long fluffy strands and very little debris.  Moss is graded by the length, fluffiness, and cleanliness.

As for hormones, I don't think I used it in the past.

And take heart, there are probably a lot of nice members here who will share cuttings with you if your experiment in rooting 3 year olds isn't as successful as hoped....in fact, if I had cuttings already to share right now, I'd do it.


Thanks for sharing my video. I get a little embarrassed making these because I don't like being on camera. I'm a photographer that likes to stay behind the lens. LOL.

BTW here are some results from using this "lasagna" method. I pack them relatively tight in there. if you don't mind getting your hands dirty to loosen them out of the tray the method works well to maximize the amount of cuttings you have in a smaller space.
