Kandhi:
I have developed an elaborated mini-green house for germinating seeds and rooting. It takes a few years to learn how to control mold. Any unsanitized organic media in still air condition will promote mold to grow. My media is a moist mixture of 50% perlite and 50% ground peat that is treated in microwave by heating thoroghly twice to kill fugus. The seeds and cutting are treated with about 100 to 200 ppm bleach for 20 min. The seeds and the cutting is then rinse off with anti-fugus copper chemical solution( you can rinse it with bottle water if necessary). Now you have clean media and clean cutting. Possibly the rooting shall have no moldy problem. But you have find a warm place. I keep my Tropical Fish Tank converted into mini-green house at 75 degrees F with grow light about.

| The seedlings in Feb, 2005, ready for graft in late March. The appearance of the leaves can be improved to deep green with proper amount of 'chemical fertilizer' solution with minor elements. They grew so fast and needed more fertilizer. I used less, afrid of burning the seedling. |
