Hi all AV lovers! I have a green thumb, but when it comes to AV's... well, let's just say... sometimes I need some help! LOL Here's the deal: I tried a little "experiment" on my AV cuttings a couple of months ago. I put some long-stemmed cuttings in water in clear cups, and attached foil at the top for support (I put holes in the foil for the stems, and also air/water holes). Lo and behold... the things have actually rooted - or at least started to! Take a look at my pics if you have any advice on whether I should plant them, etc... or what to do at this point, feel free! I have never seen such fluffy and thin roots..... (see the 2nd pic).......

I love my AV's..... but I am still learning how to care fo them... and hope this was a decent way to propagate... (not sure at this point!).. I have tried propagating in soil without any luck.. much thanks in advance!
