Here's a Dwarf Singapore Pink that I rooted this summer. I can't remember now, but I would guess that it took 12 weeks to root in the heat of summer. Don't be surprised if yours takes a wee bit longer, given this time of year. Green is good; firm means it is not rotting, and that is a good sign. Some say that greenwood cuttings are harder to root than hardwood cuttings, but I find that they root faster than hardwood, but I also think they are more prone to rotting. Most dwarves don't have really green wood anyway, I don't think. I think the greenwood turns to hardwood fairly quickly if I'm not mistaken. Which dwarf are you rooting, and can you post a pic?
