Ok, Pammo! - you've come to the right lad!.


Thanks Douggo!! What a comprehensive reply - more of an article for a
magazine.
Trouble is, I have already done the cuttings, mostly as you say, T
shapes with some of the leaves removed, and I have potted them in 2
litre pots, about 6 to a pot. One pot I tried something a
professional told me; get a long stem and coil it round so it fits
inside a pot and just bury the nodes.
I like your idea of making holes in the plastic. I'm afraid of them
going mouldy with plastic or drying out without it. Holes should do
the trick.
I may be able to get another long piece, and will try the double node
idea.
Two more questions;
Would a heated propagator help?
Would spraying with fungicide help?
I'm determined I HAVE to get some of these growing.
If I knew how to post a photo for all to view I would do so.
Thanks
Pammo!
