INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS 

• Depth for Planting Cuttings: The depth range of 0.5" to 1" is generally good, but ensure the cuttings are stable and supported in the soil.
• Watering: "Water the plant sparingly" is good advice. It's essential to keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged.
• Rooting Time: "Roots should form in two weeks" is a general guideline. Depending on the plant species, environmental conditions, and the health of the cuttings, it might take a bit longer.
• Light Requirements: "Bright shade" is correct. Bright, indirect light is ideal during rooting.
• Acclimatizing to Sun: "To avoid leaves from getting burnt, acclimatize the plant to partial sun" is correct. Gradually increasing exposure to sunlight helps the plant adjust without leaf burn.
