Default Re: some cutting and rooting

Phapioboy - yep, that's a trichocarpa...now how did you guess that?

I can't figure it out...must be sunspot activity or global warming! I did everything the way I usually do it (meaning every possible combination of tests!) and suddenly almost every type of cutting has just gone wild this time around! I mean gracilis, amp, raff, hooker, trichocarpa, coccinea have all done great over the last couple months where normally its 60/40 against!
The only ones that didn't take were a real surprise to me - N. ventrata - not a single one! I'll post some pictures when I get a bit more time.

David, I agree - water rooting seems slower, but I find that it's so mindless (as long as the boxes/trays are under the automatic misting system) that I can cut 'em and forget 'em for a few months and then just come back and pot 'em up. (Just did a bunch of your gracilis 'stouts' the other day! Thanks!)

On that note; automatic misting/watering; this is probably the biggest help I've given my propagation technique! If you can find a way to put together even a low-cost automatic system that mists things a couple times a day for even a minute or two you will be amazed at the improvements!

OT; Has anyone figured out how to use the 'image codes' from Picasa photo albums on PP forum?
