Dying cuttings

Also forgot to mention, there are some cloning gells that are supposed to work really well. It's all about getting them roots going.

High, the most common cause for cuttings to die is that their root did not develop as strong like a plant that start from seed. You have to keep humidity high, soil moist and nutrients not too strong!

Hello. I think the main reason the clones fail is Pythium Root Rot Fungus. It's common in most fresh water around the world. It's in the municipal drinking water. Chlorine doesn't kill it. So I suggest you use filtered, boiled or distilled water to make your clones with. I made 21 clones about 3 weeks ago and 2 died. Soak your medium with seaweed, 10 ml/G to help stress recovery and water uptake. Use as foliar spray on the little clones. Leaving too many leaves on the stock so the little cutting is struggling to transpire (breath). These are the main reasons , in my opinion, why clones fail. Chuck. I'd complain if I got a rude answer, like the one below.

Not all clones make it. My rate was 50/50. So if I did double the amount I wanted and may get the figure. I found once they had a good amount of roots they soon take off.
