Subject: Rooting woody cuttings
I am trying to root woody cuttings of Carolina Jessamine (Gelsemium
sempervirens). I put some in soilless medium and some directly in water. The
ones I put in the water are all sending up new growth but have no roots.
Some of the nodes under water have swollen, though. The ones in the medium
have lost their original leaves and are starting to put out new ones. There
are tiny roots in the one I unpotted to check on
it. My question is: should I leave the ones in the water alone until they
form roots? Or should I pot them up and hope they'll form roots? Cindy in

Why do you think that you can root woody cuttings in water? The plant which
root best from cuttings put in water are those which grow in a wet
environment like some bog plants and some tropical plants.
The leaves which are coming from the cuttings in water are just developing
from the buds which were dormant and since they are not supported by roots
they will die off soon
The cuttings in media *may* have started to develop adventitious roots and
may begin to grow new shoots.
