Transplanting More UC Davis Cuttings

I transplanted a few more of my cuttings from UC Davis that rooted. Finally got one of the rattlesnake island cutting to root. Suprisingly the cuttings I was most worried (Ischia Black and Black Madeira) rooted the easiest and are growing the best (hope I'm not speaking too soon). I'm just waiting on a few more cuttings that haven't rooted. Hope you enjoy the video.

Frank, you did not cut them in half, did you notice any difference in rotting longer cuttings? look very good!

Hey Grasa,

The longer cuttings seem to be doing a lot better then the ones I cut in half, I think the ones I cut in half might not have had enough energy. Quite a few of the ones I cut in half didn't make it. I should have covered the tops in wax, because a lot of them just rotted and molded where I made the cuts. Of the ones I cut in half, the tip cutting did the best, I suspect because they didn't have that exposed cut. Oh well, I'll make sure to dip them in wax from now on.

Henry...great video as usual...good luck with all your cuttings.

Thanks for sharing, henry.

What's that powder that you sprinkle over the roots? Also when you transit the cuttings from rooting chamber to cups, do they need to be acclimatized slowly?

@ Noss - I'm using a mixture of potting soil, vermiculite, perlite, and orchid bark.
@ Vince- Thanks Vince.
@ Martino- The powder is this stuff called Mykos and Azos. Its fungus and bacteria that are said to help with root development. Once I place them in cups I then put them into clear plastic storage bins so keep the cuttings from drying out.

That's cool Henry  keep up the good work .
