It has been my experience that some brugs are harder to root than others. Some root if you just toss them on top of dirt. I would have just left it in the poil and let it go slower. They usually catch up quickly. I almost always start mine in dirt, no water at all. If they are dehadrated, I will put them in water with a new cut for 24 hours then into dirt. It really is an individual choice. What ever works best for you! I never had Betty Marshall, so I do not know if she is a hard one. I bet it will be fine regardless of how you do it.

Here are cuttings I took the same day from 2 different brugs. I removed the leaves and put in water for I was sending these out and did not want dirt.

You can see the first one (Sexy Lady) took off and never looked back, Red on the other hand was so slow!!! And of course I kept them way too long because I dwadled! They should have been sent out and put in dirt much earlier.
