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. -- The more people I meet. The more I love my dog. |

Covered over they will then probably not need watering again. Paul |

Have given them a little drink and have fingers crossed. Don't seem to have much luck with cuttings. Baz |
