Then I use a sharp clean stick, actually a tree branch to poke rows of holes in the rooting
medium, the perlite and oil dry mixture.
S. Carefully place cuttings in rooting medium so as not to damage ends or knock off the
powder, be sure to place lid on tub to retain moisture and humidity.
T. Then place on top of a water bed heating mat set to about 85 degrees. Place the probe from
the heating mate into the hole you drilled into the side of the tub and then stick the probe well in to
the rooting medium,
U. Place under fluorescent lights and mist daily, be careful so water does not buildup in the
bottom of tubs due to daily misting. You may want to drill a hole in the bottom corner of the tub to
allow excess water to drain. Also do not allow rooting medium to dry out, keep moist.

In about 6 8 weeks you will have roots on most cuttings.
During this 6 - 8 week period keep misting cuttings and
inspecting for insects, mold, mildew, and remove if found.
Also remove any leaves that have fallen off of and cuttings
that have turned black.
Good luck and have fun!!
