Hi everyone, just another Q. about tropical gardening...is there a
better
way to propogate cuttings in tropical areas? I've been having some
trouble,
especially with the more fleshy cuttings, with things rotting. I've used
my
usual mix, keeping it moist as it dries out v. quickly in the heat,
however
many of my cuttings rot. I'm experimenting at the moment with leaving
some
to callus over for a bit longer before planting, but should i plant them
in
sand only, or not water until roots form, or what? Does anyone have any
ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try rooting hormone on the tips and then using a sharp sand mix. water
regularly.

thanks for that~!! Um, where do I get sharp sand from? I hear of it all the
time, but never have known what it really is.
