RE: Success!!!!!

It's too soon to use my box for fall cuttings of tender plants, so I put
some of the potted plants back in. Some, like the Josee Lilacs and the
Hibiscus didn't really have a lot of roots so I placed them, now in
small pots, back into the clear box to maintain high humidity. Everyone
got a drink of 1/2 strength fertilizer to help move things along now.
