This thread is officially a sham. I just opened the box full of what I thought were rotten cuttings. Despite the exterior feeling mushy and the coir clumping up all around it (which is what I expect to see if a cutting has rotted/molded), these so called rotten cuttings now have roots! You can see the one in the top/center has white crap growing on it and has no roots. I already threw away a few more single-node cuttings that looked like this one. The one on the bottom right has some white crap on the tip, but seems to be surviving. They all feel like they are too wet, even though other cuttings in the same box did not seem too wet. It's almost as if the lichen on these cuttings acted like a moisture trap. Before I try to root my last cutting, I will scrub all of the lichen off of it.
