Dave,
Are there any roots showing through the plastic cup?

I am asking because I am getting very fast leaf growth without roots. However, all the cuttings do have roots now at varying degrees of growth. I believe it is the heat combined with the ambient lighting in the room. The last batch of cutting I planted directly into potting mix and kept in a dark place. Let us see how it comes out.

Dave, what brand coir are you using? The coir I have is  not as chunky as yours. The one I have is "Nature's footprint" that I bought from Amazon.

Pretty little sprouts.  They are so cute at that stage. :)

At what stage does the variegation become more prominent?

Dave are you sure they're variegated? I would think that with that many cuttings going you'd see some kind of variegation going on. At least I do on mine when I start cuttings. There was a person selling cuttings on ebay that weren't variegated, I hope the buyers saw that the seller did say they AREN'T variegated.

Wow! They are looking mighty fine. Did you transplant into different cups, and can you see more root growth now??

Thanks everybody glad I didn't have to put my foot in my mouth :-))))

zeitguiest I do I use Clonex I don't know if it helps but I know it don't hurt 

Ginny I started them in cups that were 3 times bigger than a shot glass normally I would go right to a 1 gallon this time I went to a quart size I could see roots hitting the side of the container
