I bought some cactus cuttings on eBay, and while that was going on, the
weather turned cool.

Would the cuttings be better off outside where it is sunny but the
ground it cool and the air temperature gets cold at night, or in my
basement under lights where I can keep them warm but the light is not as
good?

I had planned on rooting them outdoors and then bringing them in at the
first frost, but several days of cold rain kind of messed up my plans.

Thanks,
Bob


Keep the cuttings in a sunny window. I have successfully rooted many
cactus cuttings in plain water. I keep just a 1/8" of water, or just
enough to wet the bottom of the glass. It seems it doesn't hurt the
process if it goes dry for a day. Water and low light is death for
many cactus. Have patience.
