Rooting Protocol

1. Callus 1–2 days in dry air.
2. Use small clay pots with damp, perlite-amended mix—clay wicks moisture, preventing rot.
3. Insert cuttings; do not water until roots form (tug gently to test).
4. 65–68°F is fine; warmer speeds rooting.
5. Don't wait for air roots—indoor air is too dry.

Clay pots are ideal year-round. Patience yields sturdy plants.
