The cutting came from a gracilis hybrid.
I cut the end of the cutting diagonally to expose as much phloem as possible.
I then cut four vertical lines around the cutting, all of which were about an
inch long
Finally, I dropped the cuttings in to a solution of Peter's Special
"Root and Bloom" (at about 1/8 reccomended strength) so that all of
the damage that I had inflicted on the cutting was below water, in
addition to one auxillary node.
The cutting were put in the same environment as the parent plant,
which is about 1800 foot candles of light and around 50-60 % humidity.
Two weeks later I have signs of little-bitty roots around the cuts and
coming from undamaged areas above.
My question to you is:
Is this an accomplishment, or would I have gotten this kind of root growth
with traditional methods?
