I am interested in knowing how everyone start cuttings.
Now I have started a lot of cuttings . Many years ago before I know much and only had the epi oxy I just cut pieces off and stuck them in the pot of plain soil, water and most rooted. Either I was very lucky, or epi oxy is more hardy than other epis or as my mother says I have magic green fingers.
But now after "studying" every thing that I can find and starting over 100 cuttings, I am puzzled. I have found a number of ways of doing it. everything from putting the cutting in a pot of dry soil and not watering for a month to putting the cuttings in a pot and watering good and then leaving for a month. To a lot in between. And that not all cuttings will root the same way. I am beginning to think the way of rooting depends on the type of cuttings.
I have a fat top cutting that I have been fighting with over three months to get it to root and not rot. I think the plant was overwatered before the cutting was taken as I have never seen a epi "leaf" that flashy .
Tell my the best way that you root cuttings and what type of cuttings that you root.
