One spring a few years back, we had May Gray followed by June Gloom, and it was damp and cold, and all my cuttings were outside and rotting. This was before I knew about bottom heat and heating mats. I ended up shipping about 30 cuttings to Luc at Florida Colors to graft for me. Back then, he charged $3 per graft plus actual return shipping. Most were healthy enough to take, but some rotted and would not take. Some grafts are prettier than others, but I don't care what they look like as long as they are firmly attached. I now do my own grafting, and I almost prefer it to rooting.
