Houston! We've got a big problem!!! Help!
Gloria, I suspected the new potting media maybe too water retentive. Yesterday I went out to the nursery that I got potting media from. Reported the problems, and my suspection of such. They switched from the "too expensive Promix" to this one, in attempt to save a few dollars for a 3.8 cubic foot planting soil. I was forced to try this "new" one at the end of my growing season (the first large bag of medium that I've ever purchased from them). The nurseryman assured me that, this product is just as good as other, so far. There is nothing that they can detect from their own big "greenhouse". It looks like I need to take my cuttings back to the nursery, show them the problem. And insist on getting my Promix? That aside, there is no excess water from the pots that I kept, I placed papertowels under the pot, there is no wetness wicked out from there.
I also elevated most of my tender cuttings on a rack as seen here. There is no pooling water from below the pots, either.
