Ok back again... Here is a picture of the solo cup. I lable it. Then I take a leaf and put it in the cup and put fertalized water and cover 1/4 of the bottom of the leaf . I put them under my lights on the top shelf... I check the leaf every so many days...Now if water gets low put more in as needed. If the water turns green I take the cup and leaf to the sink and clean the cup and rinse the leaf very softly... I then put back into clean fertalized water and under lights... Some cutting root really easy others take longer... I find in about two weeks I have roots on many... It is important that you keep the water clean but if you forget it don't sweat just clean when you can. I am showing a picture of a cup I had to cut down as I did not have a smaller one.... I also only put 1 or 2 streps per cup.. If I put more they tend to rot.... The picture above is holding more only because they were no named ones I put together to bring into the living room....
Hugs,
Susan
