- Wait and watch as your roots grow!
Why won’t my cuttings root in water?
The only water available to the long cutting is from the small root tip in the water! Chances are, if you have really long cuttings, they’ve probably wilted and some leaves have yellowed. Now you know why! To increase your chances of rooting, make cuttings that are no longer than 4-6 inches (10-15cm) or so.
Why are my cuttings not rooting?
Too much or too frequent application of mist / fog keeps the growing medium saturated, excess water will flow from the bottom of the trays and rooting will be delayed. Applying mist / fog too infrequently will increase transpiration from the leaves and cuttings will lose turgidity and could die from drying out.
