Do you have problems getting your plant cuttings to root? If you do, it could be that you are not providing enough humidity in the atmosphere around the cut tings. Usually, providing enough humidity is hard to do unless you have a greenhouse. If you have this problem, why not fix a "mini-mini greenhouse" for rooting cuttings? Take a one-gallon, plastic freezer bag and fill it about one-third (3 or 4 inches) with a rooting medium (vermiculite works well in the "mini-mini"). Dampen the rooting medium, place the cuttings in the plastic bag and blow the plastic bag up. Tie the plastic bag with a twist tie to hold the air inside, and you will have a "mini-mini greenhouse" to root plant cuttings. With the twist tie in place, the moisture cannot escape and will collect on the inside of the plas tic bag and run back down into the rooting medium so that you will not have to rewater .
Sometimes, the plastic bag will lose its air and collapse. When this happens, remove the twist tie and blow it up again. When the cuttings start to root, you will be able to see roots through the plastic bag. When this happens, remove the cuttings and pot in a good, sterilized potting mix. Try the "mini-mini greenhouse" for rooting cuttings.
