Just a guess , but I think you might be using too much rooting hormone .


Tried it both ways.

The instructions on mine (TakeRoot brand) say dip then shake excess off
. Are you clipping almost all the leaves off ?


I left the leaves on. Should I have removed most of them?


That lowers the moisture
requirements , cuz remember , ya got no roots to take up water and
nutrients .


I also put a baggie over the container (loosely)
toÂ*helpÂ*retainÂ*moistureÂ*.


not following. Bag over the rooting compound container?


Also, how long do I wait to water? Maybe I washed the stuff off?
