INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS

Place the cutting on top of the soil, ensuring the cut end makes contact with the growing medium where applicable. Roots may begin to form within approximately two weeks, depending on growing conditions. Keep the cutting in bright shade during the rooting period.

Once roots have formed, water the cutting sparingly and only when the soil is dry. After the cutting has rooted and begun to establish itself, gradually acclimatize the plant to outdoor conditions and direct sunlight to prevent sunburn.
