humidity bin cuttings

I have a few cuttings that have no buds but have nice roots after a months time, was going to take a few out of humidity bin and put them in pots outside in the shade where sprinklers hit them twice a day.  Since there is no leafs there should be no acclimation? right?  dang got on bold some how , lol

Don't know. But I'm following this as I have bunch of cuttings with roots but no buds

I would just to be on the safe side. I would think the plant would put out leave adapted to the new environment. 

It might be better to keep inside until you get a leaf or something. The plant might use up its' fuel reserve if it can't start producing energy. 

They would be fine in a shady spot. Like you said with no leaves yet when they do finally grow leaves they would automatically be acclimated to the sun. I would be more concerned about them being watered twice a day. I usually water mine once every 4-5 days at the very most but I also have mine in treepots.

Ya its 95 ish in the day here and there in a shapy spot under some green plants. So leves keep them cool and water doesnt really go into the pots.

I'm jealous it's in the low 70s here. Now I see why your watering so much. I would still be once a day to once every other day. I always made sure the soil was almost bone dry before I water it. That makes the roots really reach

You could also water it with some good fertilizer. I use mostly cow compost fish waste and bat guano. That would stimulate top growth

This happened to me one time because i planted the cutting upsidedown! I think your best bet might be to plant it horizontal with some if it exposed. I never did get it to come around (I tried to flip it over all at once!).
