Hi Jen,

Alot of the cuttings I have gotten from David have come pretty yellow - esp. my magnifica. It hasn't ever seemed to hurt them. They all have rooted just fine, and the yellow just slowly filled in with green. It seems like the veins turn green firs, then the rest of the fleshy parts slowly fill in. I have wondered if it isn't higher light that makes them yellow, as the stems have all been healthy, and the leaves firm, just yellow.

May I ask where you ordered from? Did you get them from overseas? What kind of carnosa did you get?

Here is a pic of my cuttings from last fall - October of 2006
