Woe is me. I think that I have failed with all of the cuttings that I bought in Dec. It looks like they tried to root and then just quit. Too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry??? I am aggravated with myself. I thought that I was doing everything right. I guess that I "loved on them too much".
Is it too late to find more cuttings? Any ideas or help will be appreciated.
Quote: I'd estimate that the success rate on rooting has been around 90-95% for this project. On a smaller scale in the past it's probably been 80% (often due to getting leaves and no roots), but this year I used Clonex and kept the mix less moist, and that seemed to help.
I've only lost 2 that I know of after the move to the greenhouse (so less than 1%); those two wilted and went kaput a few days in, not sure why.
For me, the initial rooting is where almost all of my losses always occur. Most often, it's because they either never root/leaf or because they do root/leaf but I don't move them out of the humidity bins fast enough and they mold to death. The greenhouses seem to be safe zones: if the plants can survive long enough to make it there (even if their leaves are half molded by then), they're generally in the clear
I am sorry if this red text is too rude. I am just feeling sorta panicity I have had no success with the cuttings that I purchases. I would love to find someone who can get at least one to me. I sent money for cuttings of the Godfather tree but have not heard anything. I had so wanted to get started this year. Thank you in advance
