These were rooted cuttings that I decided to lay on their sides in the pot.(what I call Eric's Method of rooting) These already had little branches coming out in various places on the stems and I wanted to see how they would do if I laid them in a pot on their sides. The sprouts started coming up almost the next day, they are growing nice and straight and look very healthy. I dug down into the soil, and the main cutting was rooted all along itself, but these didn't have their own roots yet. (I know, I'm not good with technical report writing!!) I put some Osmocote on top of the soil. The little brown specks/trash are leaves from an asperagus fern that is hanging above and is shedding.
