YAAAHOOOOO! I have roots on 1 of the cuttings as of this morning!!! Sadly they aren't where I wanted to see them, but atleast I know it's working. The roots are barely ABOVE the Oasis cube shooting from the stem into the cube!LOL go figure. I think it's day 8 or 9, I've gotten roots that fast w/ other plants but never with Passiflora. So far I've only lost 2 of the cuts and they were stems w/ no leaves. Oddly enough, there are several others that are bare stems and they're doing fine and growing very very small leaves in the crotch of each node. The 1 thats showing roots only has part of 1 big leaf. I have never had any luck w/ bare stems on any kind of plants before, I sure would like to know how/why. The only thing I did differently was 1, I changed brands of rooting gel and 2, I didn't place any vermiculite in the floor of the tray like I usually do. I still think I should add some vermiculite to hold moisture and give the roots a place to reach for after they emerge from the bottom of the cubes. HMMMMM
I'm going to my mom's to get the camera back! LOL You'll see some tonight.

OH BTW. I've had people tell me that what I think is P. Incarnata is not. I've had it for years and nobody has ever said that, I wouldn't be upset if I am wrong. It would mean there is another strain of Passiflora out there I can leave outside over winter! That would be great. Will you guys please give me your opinions? Thanks
