i did many cutting and all were sucessful, after transplanting them from the liners to 1g i put them in an area under spriklers receiving sun , then they started dying ( i thought its because not enough water since it was being obstructed by taller plants & too much sun) so i moved them to a shady area under an avocado tree hardly sun gets in there, still with the same water sprinklers and still some are dying. i have fertilized them and many are growing taller but as i said there are plenty that are dying or rotting. now i wonder if its too much shade and the soil is mostly moist that it causes them to rot and die.

so does anyone know what i should do? what am i doing wrong?
what does this plant like? when i bought it at a nursery they had it in full full sun and the plants were 1' tall no problem there.
