The following are cuttings which I have received from Glory. I have rooted them and now they seem to want to go into bigger pots. Do I bury the cutting and just let the new growth show or bury just as they are in the rooting pots? Do I trim back some of the new growth on the sides and let only one shoot grow or wait till later to do this. Some didn't sprout. Should I pull them out and check their roots to see what's going on?
[edit] Into what size pots do I move them?

How deep do I repot cuttings?
Padre, keep them growing in these pots for some more weeks.It is too early for repotting. The roots must have filled the pot before repotting.Do not trimm back new growths,the leafes are the powerstations..
You can bury the wooden cuttings.I do with the second repotting.
It is always better to repott cuttings 2 or 3 times.Always using a new pot which is only a little larger.
Hi Padre! I've lost more cuttings repotting to early. If it were me,I'd let them grow some more before I switched to a larger pot. This way the root ball will become established. Then it will be a matter of tipping them out of their current pot and planting at the same soil level to the new pot.
Another lesson learned the hard way, NEVER yank on the cuttings that don't have leaves! LOL Sure fire way to make sure they will never get those leaves. I'm sure the ones without leaves are just putting down some roots. The tops will catch up with the bottom soon enough. One more thing, I wouldn't trim any growth.

I would agree. Wait for a bit warmer weather or until you see a root out the bottom. Fastest way for me to lose them is to pot up too soon.
I alway wait until they are root bound and that makes moving them easier
Thanks for your advice. I'm glad I asked. I'd rather learn by other people's mistakes than my own ;-)
