Re: cuttings

Hmmm. May have to try that. I have some jade plant cuttings that I started for Pam and I have some ivy rooting by placing the long ends in dirt so the roots will start...looks like an octopus! A big pot, with little pots all around it with the ends stuck in dirt. Now if I can just keep Raja (my cat) out of it maybe they'll root.

Jesse,
I am currently rooting some cuttings of the Goldfish Plant I wrote about
last fall. I didn't have a lot and didn't want to use up a lot of space,
so I used a 2x5 peat cell strip filled with rooting medium. After
sticking the cuttings I placed the cell strip in an old plastic audio
cassette tray (about 12x4 inches). Then I stuck chopsticks upright in
each corner of the medium and wrapped saranwrap around the whole thing.
About once a week I pour more water into the plastic tray to keep
everything moist. The Goldfish have already rooted; I just haven't
gotten around to potting them up. Maybe this weekend.
