If I could make a suggest- grab some pete pellets-cheap, and convenient-thats what I use for clones, just letem suck up the water-I'd grab a small bottle of super-thrive, and rooting powder- this can be picked up at any nursery-scrape a little on one side of the cutting stem-dip it in the bottle of rooting powder-stem first-press her in the soaked peet pellet, and sit back.Clones are absolutely invaluable to us.peace
