Saving White Cloud

20 years ago

I got white cloud as a cutting in a trade last fall and it has really taken off. The sad tale is that the top 18" (with a newly formed Y) of my 5' plant just snapped off...wind I guess, though I had noted how tender that stalk looked overall. Fortunately it had a nice basal shoot that will take over now. I immediately stripped all the leaves except the very small ones past the Y and slugged it into a bucked with rainwater. It's a week now and the incipient roots have all 'nubbed' out and the tips seem as healthy as when I stripped the leaves. My question is whether to go ahead and pot it up now or to wait til I see real root growth.

I have to say it has pleasantly surprised me so far as I've had difficulty rooting cuttings as 'green' as this was in the past, but then the whole plant was in such an intense growth mode perhaps it just had the right hormone mix going. Anyhow, thoughts on best time to pot up?
