Recently I struck a bunch of cuttings in the same pot....again the same concept as above.... here is the pot, without potting medium, in the saucer with water. This is the level of the water in the pot when all the medium and the cuttings are in it. I fill the pot with the Hydroton mix and stick the cuttings in. Yes, I dip them in Hormex or Rootone. I mist all of the newly struck cuttings with a very very weak fertilizer solution at least once a day. With our cool nights, these saucers sit on heatmats set at 73deg and I probably have to add water to the saucers every 2 days.
