Ok so those two pesky cuttings have finally started to root thank god. I tiped over the cups to see if there was any roots and yup it has tiny little roots about half inch long so now I got 7 out of 7 with roots.

Ok lets let the pictures do the talking.





the one in the green container is the white variety the first one too root as you can see the leaf damage due to it touching the plastic dome cup.

I noticed that some of these cuttings are in clear plastic by themselves, and others seem to have the sides of the cups covered. Could someone please tell me why the difference. Is it personal preference or does covering the sides let the roots develop in the dark? Is one way better than the other? Please explain. Thanks

Bozoshoes the ones that I have covered are because they have roots and I wanted them to get some morning sun through my office windows if they were not covered the sunlight would surely kill the roots. The last Picture I posted I was experimenting with putting the cup inside a bigger cup to keep the humidity on the bottom part and cooler air above so that I would slow down the top growth worked well on that cutting but could of just been a fluke.

Maggie I sure would be happy if these cuttings would fruit next year right now I have 5 plants in my office and about 20 cuttings gowing so next spring/Summer I will be giving away plants to make some room in here.
