My late season cuttings, especially large caliper ones, have come bouncing out of the sphagnum needing a root trimming of late.   They definitely didn’t do well when crammed into a 24 oz cup.  So, I gave up, trying  and opted to go straight to 1 gallon. 

Only problem,  I was experiencing unacceptable loss mostly due to, stems drying out, lack of humidity, big surface area for gnat entry and of course a little overwater. 

So, not having a green house, I did a little brainstorming.    Walla… a 1 gal plastic milk carton with bottom removed slips snuggly over my 1 gal pots.   Just throw in a piece of dryer sheet for good luck and you’re in business.   Spritz of water daily and it seems to stay plenty damp/humid!  I do have outside in a semi shady /filtered sun area.  I sure don’t want to cook the little guys, been there done that already…..urgh  .Only limited trial to date but, so far seems to be the answer for me,  if success of  Grasa’s Adriatic cutting  (below) is an indication, then I’m,  going to start saving a few more plastic milk carton.

Luck to all…..
