Its a hot and humid 85 degrees here. I found some twigs I had forgotten about in the back of the fridge. The end of the twigs look white but when I scrap against the middle, it is still green. Should I just wrap in parafilm, stick it in potting mix and set in shade? Is that the easiest way now or will the extreme heat and humidity work against it? 

I had decent luck using cup SIPs during the winter but I'm thinking its not neccessary now?

Also please confirm I have identified the right side-up of the twig?

Thanks guys!

 

Yes, you have the cutting right side! Good Luck!

Thanks Frank! Do you think wrapping in parafilm will hurt the process?

You should be fine.  Agree, they are right side up.  I just had an old parafin wrapped cutting in half perlite/peat in a vented water bottle show roots and a shoot.  It's outside in shade.  Took it 3 months to root, but it did!

I find that the safest way is a plastic cup of water half way up with water were the water level is half way up on cutting. Change water every two days you will see root starts form. No risk of rotting. I learned this from a member here. I use this technique on my prized cuttings.
