Default Re: Trying to root Cuttings?

For those that do not have a greenhouse mist system, there is always the plastic bag you can put the pot and cutting in. Cuttings in moist media in a plastic bag in the shade do well for me.

There is one other trick I often use--I take all the leaves off except for 4 and pinch the tender tip off the cuttings--then tear the tip off the remaining 4 leaves. The injury induces hormones in the plant that stimulate root development.
