When
I receive new cuttings I (mostly) put them in water one or two days and
then in soil mix. However, sometimes I leave them to root in water and
sometimes I plant them directly in soil mix. It depends on the
cutting, size of it, what leaves it has (thin/thick)
and so on. I
took some photos when I received my little 'Mathilde' just to show how I
root cuttings. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact
me. |

Here's what I use when
rooting in water: |
A) cutting |
|
B) glass jar/small bottle |
|
C) what it can look like after a
while |
|
|
And here's what I use when
planting directly in soil mix: |
A) cutting |
|
B) soil mix |
|
C) small pot (5 cm / 2 inches) |
|
D) root hormones |
|
E) mini greenhouse or
"similar" |
|
|
And here's how I root
directly in soil mix: |
1) dip the cutting in root
hormones (easy if you keep it in a small bottle) |
|
2) stick it in the small pot |
|
3) put it in the "greenhouse" |
|
4) put the lid on and you're
done |
|
5) ventilation |
|
|
And then all I have to do is
what until I see it gets roots or starts growing. Then I either pot the
cutting if water rooted or plant it in a bigger pot. |

Good luck with your cuttings! |
