Good luck to you

Hi Hinda,

I am a major chicken when it comes to cuttings. So I usually wait to see. They either dry up and die like a cut flower would or they get new growth. I does take a long time. I'm usually sure I have failed and just as I am giving up it will pop up with some new growth to give me hope.

I haven't grown the same things you are trying so I don't have any specific advise.

HI hinda
just keep your cuttings a little moist not real wet and keep them in the shade.you should have roots start growing in abought 4 to 6 weeks.the bag methed works to you dont have to water them much that way.but i just root mine in the shade. i rub root hormone on them befor placeing them in the soil.hope this helps and good luck with your cuttings.your friend in gardening.mike57
