Watering cuttings
 

Hi.
Could someone please advise about the following.

Have just taken 10 soft Fuschia cuttings,don't know the name
but have big double cream and red heads.

I have done cutting as instructed and dipped 10mm or so of
rooting compound called strike.
Compost not dry or damp.

What I want to know is should I water cuttings in with a little water
straight away or wait.
Thanks.
Baz.

I would always water straight away to firm the compost round the
cuttings. Covered over they will then probably not need watering again.

Hi Paul.
Many thanks for your help.
Have given them a little drink and have fingers crossed.
Don't seem to have much luck with cuttings.
