I have 4 Greek Church cuttings that I potted up. They have just a few small leaves, and fair roots. My question is; how hot can they get before it's detrimental. The window I have space for them regularly gets 85-90. Is that too hot? |

The temperature should be okay if the humidity is high enough to prevent the cuttings and young trees from drying out. Home heating is very dry. |

[QUOTE=ThaiFig]My daily temps vary from 75F at night to 95F by mid afternoon. At 95 I don't expect I'm getting much root growth. But it's not killing the cuttings either.[/QUOTE] |

I have rooted cuttings with my max temps hitting 85-87. If the pots or soil starts feeling to hot you can always wrap the cups with something. |
