I have had my cuttings from a Dutchmans pipe vine in hormone and
potting type soil now for over two weeks. They have not wilted or
drooped and look fine. The entire pot of clippings are inside a
plastic teepee affair so its like being in a greenhouse. It gets full
sun all day ong, and each evening, I o pen it up to allow a change of
air. They appear to be thriving, but am leary on pullinng out any
shoots to see if they have delveloped roots yet, so what would be a
good time frame to check........1 month 2 months or ?

This is the first time I have ever tried rooting anything so I am sort
of in the dark.

There are many factors on the rate of root growth. I found that
fluorescent lighting does an excellent job rooting cuttings for many
plants. My lavender took 2.5 months to establish roots, a Christmas
cactus almost 4 months, and coleus about 10 days. Anyway, I'd check
once a month. You might want to put a small hole in the plastic to
allow some ventilation.
