Rooting-cutting water rule: Water once at the beginning of the rooting process. Do not water again until the cutting has produced two or three full-sized leaves. If the firm cutting looks dehydrated, light misting is allowed; do not use misting to keep the rooting medium wet. After roots are confirmed: Water newly rooted cuttings sparingly […]
