Recieved 3 sticks from UcDavis March 12th, put 2 in damp paper and 1 in pot with soil mix. Recently i used clonex red rooting gel on 2 of 3 sticks of violette de bordeaux and they are showing good roots after 1 month in plastic cups so i decided to take 1 of the sticks out of the damp paper and do the same as i did with the bordeaux sticks, i dipped and put in plastic cup yesterday. When i took out of paper it and the other one were showing no signs of doing anything yet after 6 days. So now have one in just soil mix no gel in black pot, one in plastic container with gel, and last one in damp paper. I used what i had in home. Im hopeing that 1 will root.
