Ms. Kitty . . . You jogged my memory on something worth trying. If anyone trys rooting in just water (always let water sit for few hours to evaporate chlorine) . . . scrape some bark off a branch of Willow then drop the crumpled small branch and the bark into the water container with the plant you are trying to root !! This is an ancient farmers method of rooting. The Willow contains "asidacylic" (spelling?) acid which generates rooting. The same acid is used to manufacture Asprin. Logos
