Cuttings Advice

11 years ago

Just wondering if it is best to give the bottom of the cutting a fresh cut prior to trying to root, or is it best to leave it as a dried cut end. Also, should the cuttings be soaked in a glass of water when they arrive or leave as is. I am using the sphagnum in a plastic box method to root.

DO NOT give them a fresh cut. The whole idea is for the cut to be calloused over before you start the rooting process.
