Re: cuttings

Oooh!  Magnolias in August!  I would like to try cuttings of my Leonard
Messel Magnolia and you're saying it's not too late at all!

Your cuttings outside - are they covered to kep humidity up?  or just in the
open - as another friend told me she does.

My clear box, inside under lights, is very successful for tender plants like
coleus, Osteospermum, Plumbago, Streptocarpus.  I'm hoping it will work well
for the woodies outside.  I used Rootrainers the past few years with limited
success.
