Post #4869626

I have been desperately trying to get white angelonias and this seems to be the second year where they are hardly available. I want/need lots and can't pay $4 for a 4" pot.

So, since I will be going to Charlotte next weekend, I will be passing by NC Farms Inc., a wholesaler of all sorts of cuttings.

As my bad luck would have it, they will be out of rooted plugs, but if I can figure out - with your help - what to do with unrooted cuttings (100 for $9), I would really like to go this route. I have never done anything like this, so I have no clue.

First, will they survive in the car over night?
Then, what do I set them into - type of medium/container? (need to buy these materials this week)
So then, what do I do?
How long till they will be big enough to transplant out?

Has anyone done a similar thing?

I will appreciate your help with this very very much.
