karen, at first I thought the dome was a 'MUST HAVE' and so I drove 40 miles r/t to get one and after a few days I had trouble with the dome, got too moist and rot happened. So i think there is enough ambient humidity (not sure if that's the technical term) just around the tray (at least in my case) that I stopped using it. Plus if you're running the humidifier you should have plenty of humidity. But i think like every thing, you'll just have to try and see what works for your environment. My AV and begonia leaf cuttings were mush after a very short time.

Carol, i should splurge, but with two mats running, and at $35 each, I can ingulge myself in a lot of plants for that. As long as our daytime temps stay under 70º i'm ok. When it warms up, I might have to add another towel. They're pretty free, I have a whole big tupperware storage box full of em'.

I'd love Maya. I had 15 cuttings from a trade I did earlier ( I really don't know a thing about brugs so I was winging it with my bubbler). I had them all rooting in my homemade bubbler and they did great. I may have one or two that are problematic with virus, but I separated them out and I'm watching them pretty close. I could just be stress too. I potted them all up in 1 gal cans today.

I'll Dmail you. P.S. Carol, if you find me on your doorstep in the next day or two don't be surprised. We've had solid gloom rain for about 10 days now and I think I'm suffering from SAD! I miss my Maui trip and need to get a big dose of Island sunshine! (only kidding, you won't really find me....well maybe not)
