rooted cuttings now what?

| I rooted 2 cuttings via ziploc bag method. They were getting crowded so I opened the bag an inch a day to harden off. I guess the next step is to put into a pot? Since they've been in the sunroom do you think a pot would do ok in there until winter's over? Also what's the best potting medium to use? This is my first rooting success and I'd like not to flub this up! Also how wet should I keep them...I'm sure they don't need to dry out? Thanks! |

| Use some soil-less peat based potting medium lightly wetted, and add 1/3 cup bone meal per potted plant, and work it in. I have my cuttings potted in 6x6" square plastic pots, but since you have only 2 cuttings, use any 1 gallon pot. After transplanting, water using the bottom watering method, and once a month feed with miracle gro. I grow mine under continuous light, shoplight fixture with Ushio 850 lamps, although 841 would also be fine. Keep a close eye out for insect pests. Paul Mozarowski. |
