I received one cutting each of 7 from a member. 100% on all! Amazing! I had one shot, and they all rooted!! No need to mention what their names are. But just saying one shot can turn out well!

100%!! I received 1 Panachee and it is fabulous! I waited for it to have good roots then put in a 32oz deli cup. It also started to root towards the top but let them dry up. I am trying to pace/space out the rooting due to space constraints around the house.

I have to say I had very good luck this year. I bought 16 single cutting varieties from Brugsmania-Quebec and all rooted fine. Jury is still out on whether 1 of them is going to make it after leaves wilted.

In my case the rooting success is different from the survival success.

I had one sweet george last year and it didn't make it. None of my florea made it either. It may have been from over watering though.

I've gone with 100% course perllite in clear cups this year which I think helps prevent over watering. Its easy to feel when the cups are dry by their weight. I have 5 cuttings going now all rooted well with good green growth on top. I water them maybe once every 5 or 6 days and let the excess water drain out. The leaves start to sag if I've left it too long before watering but they rebound as soon as I water them.
