P.s still needs to breathe even if it has only 2 sets of leave. Stomata closes above 70%rh to prevent "drowning" for lack of better term.
These pellets are fully fertilized and contain lime and a special fertilizer.
Where to start, don't cut with scissors whatever you do, always cut with clean sharp blade at 45 degrees angle.
Inside the stems are the xylem and phloem, capillaries responsible for water movement. If these are in anyway compromised or crushed as the cut is made it can severely effect a cuttings survival chances. With a clean concise cut ✂️ 👌.
The tiny cutting has 2 options. The environment it finds itself in will dictate its next move. It either tries to continue growing or re-root.
A cutting that finds fertization in tap water or jiffy peat pucks will signal there is nutrient to be found and will signal to attemp to keep growing.
A cutting that finds distilled water with no salt minerals in the medium will say "fuxk this" I need to reroot asap, needs to look further afield for nutrient.
We tend to take cuttings early morning as the stem holds and stores energy. If the cutting uses all it's stored energy to try and grow before it has re rooted it will be unable to root once its blown its stores.
Good luck brother. 👍
Try same setup but clean pucks no dome, this time have distilled water sitting in the catch basin. Lots of air, so long as the capillary are not damaged water uptake is not a problem.
We need a little 0.04% co2, oxygen and no nutrients.
After a few days to a week once you see first sign of lime green in New growth will tell you she has started to root.
