This is an example of the mostly green wood cuttings I took and started in bubblers Oct. 31. It has nubbies all along the stem. I should pot them up now, right?
I whipped up a new soil mixture today. Took half of a new 2 cu ft bag of Miracle Gro Potting Soil and mixed in two full bags of orchid mix and an 8 qt bag of Perlite. The resulting mixture is very light and free draining. Think this will work for the Brug starts from the bubbler?
The ones I potted up previously in regular MG soil don't look so hot. Most of them have lost all their leaves and the smallest (really tiny - maybe 1/4" diameter) looks like it is giving up the ghost.
But as a plus - and this is for you Hoya nuts like me - I started a hoya in there with just one leaf on the stem and it's cranking out roots to beat the band! Pictures to follow, I hope...
