Sorry for confusing you Azalea but I did state that the cuttings had been treated with liquid IBA, which is colourless, only the bottom half inch is dipped in the IBA. What you can see at the top is where the graft has been dipped in hot wax to protect it from dessication when planted out in field. The solid white is callus around the graft and over the top of that is wax which covers from the top to about an inch below the graft. The photo is of one of our lady workers getting ready to dip the rooted graftlings into the wax, note that the roots are up and the grafted piece pointing down.
