I started a lot of cuttings in October and many did the same. I wondered if it might be my t-8 lights just not being strong enough for lush growth. Since I've put them out in the greenhouse where its warmer and brighter many have started growing more. Just make sure not to overwater them while they are like this. They will likely take off as soon as they are outside. :) Tyler __________________ London, Ontario zone 6a Wish List: Martinenca Rimada, Genovese Nero AF, Galicia Negra, Brooklyn White

My Martinenca Rimada did not do this but other rooted cuttings have. I agree with Tyler that once the weather warms up and you get them out in the sun they should take off. Just remember to acclimate them slowly. I just moved all my rooted cuttings outside over the weekend and hoping to see them putting on new growth soon. __________________ Steve MD zone 7a

I am having the same problem, some rooted cuttings just sit there day in day out in a kind of stasis. A CDD Rimada and a Bourjasotte Gris. Natural warmth and sunshine have got to be the best remedy. Maybe some dolomitic limestone and organic minerals to help them thrive, maybe some B-1. __________________ Zone 7b, Queens, New York

I don't think the problem is heat or light the right above an 8 ft base board heater and here's a picture of other cuttings I started at the same time lush green leaves ??? __________________ Connecticut - Zone 6B Wish List - Bordissot negra rimada

Its still indoors, there's something about nature that cures all ills. Try it. I have the same problem, I expect improvements in the greenhouse. __________________ Zone 7b, Queens, New York

Aside from lack of top growth they look great! I bet the pot is chock full of roots too! Be patient. __________________ Jo-Ann DFW TX, Zone 7b-8a Wish List: Black Madeira,, Kathleen's Black, Malta Black, Marseille VS Black, White Paradisio, LSU Scott's Black, Conadria, White Trianna, Marttineca Rimada, Excel, Peter's Honey, Bebera Preta (Abebereira), Strawberry Verte

Hi Dave, In Zone7, the left pot would go outside in a "tomato greenhouse" for her to take off there . The greenhouse will provide humidity and heat for the cutting to take off. I started 2 cuttings with the tomatoes 4 weeks ago and they started to break bud last week. __________________ ------------------------ Climate from -25°C to + 35°C Only cold hardy figtrees can make it here
