Re: Clonex--Interim Report

Jim, that sounds like pretty good results so far.  Clonex is pricey, but if
it gives better  results, especially for difficult cuttings, it can be worth
it.  If you decide to get more , do try ebay.  I paid 75% less than
Charley's.  I haven't tried it yet, but plan to do a bit in late winter and
a lot come spring and summer.
