I hope this helps. I am starting cuttings todate. The last ones that came in the mail were 11-15-07. They are rooted, potted and growing well.

I keep my big plants growing through the winter under lights. I am rooting my cuttings, to be sent to friends and for trades next spring, by then they will have been potted and growing.

I always start cuttings in water, have no luck with starting in soil, either keep soil too wet, or too dry.

Pic shows green cutting, I suspend in the water, by putting foil/ around cutting, or waxpaper over top of jar, hole for cutting to go through, to hold from touching bottom of jar. Older woody cuttings can touch bottom of jar. See how close under the dbl. florescent lights I keep the cuttings? I have well water, so don't know if city water with chlorine would hurt or not. When I change water every couple days, I run water so it is warm/not HOT!
