Yeah, I'm am trying peat mix now. I put it Styrofoam cup with hole in the bottom. I smushed as much as could get in there and wet it down. Then I smushed more in and wet it down it was nice a firm. Poked a big hole in the center and put some wormy casings stuff in and poured more water till it leaked out. I took my stem with root powder and stuffed it in there nice a firm. Kinda like a peat puck.
I put the whole mess in a plastic bin with some water in the bottom. Taped plastic caps under the cups to keep them out of the water. Then with some leftover plastic they use to make those stupid 'homes for sale this way signs' I made a frame to hang some saran wrap as a cover. I am hoping the water will help keep it humid.
I am so broke right now I cant afford to go to superpets and get a freaking fish air pump and a big air stone! like 15 bucks, right? Bosh!!
Then like I am fidgeting around with the mother and BAM broke of two heavy limbs! @$#@%&#&!! I took a 7up bottle cut it in half and drilled a bunch of holes in the bottom put some gravel in the bottom and wick. I am hoping the wick will keep it moist so I don't drown it and cause it to rot. I did the whole peat jamming thing as above. I hope it works. I soaked the big stems for about 10 minutes in the rooting powder mixed with water and then powdered them and stuck them in the pots nice and firm.
I left all the leaves and stuff on. Somebody said something about the plant using the leaves as food till it develops roots? Man I hope so. You could get one hell of a spliff from those stems.
I have two different styles going on now. one with wicks and the others in little pots. I hope they work. This plant I have the cuttings from is so sweet. She is my first and my baby.
Peace, Friddly
