Re: Fuchsia Cuttings

Alan, 

Only one comment :) go with the the method with the better success rate.
Fuchsias are so easy to root, I sometimes pick up pieces from a fuchsia
that break off and stick it right into the garden soil and had success,
although the cuttings have nodes. Preferred method is with a sterile medium
with bottom heat under glass. Have not tried the no nodes method! :) 

Now about those cows...
