Weird question....

17 years ago

I received a couple cuttings that were started "upsidedown"...They have nubs...I caught one as soon as I received it and flipped it over...I just noticed one that was upsidedown (it's been a week) that has a root coming out of it.

My questions is:

What do I do??...Should I flip it the right way up and just let the root dry out??...Or leave it upsidedown??

Crazy....lol

You could plant it sideways like a log.

K...I'll try that...Never did that before.

I still have some cuttings in water...Tomorrow I'm headed to town to get some potting mix..My other mix is buried/covered with plants in my greenhouse and I can't get to it...lol

I'd still like to know about what to do with that root though...Is it ok to let it dry out or leave the cutting upsidedown??

Caren I tried one upside down and it didn't do well. If it were me, I'd flip it over and start all over. IMHO If you plant it like a log, you will get VERY small plants that will take much longer to bloom ... again IMHO :)

I don't like log growing it either. Takes a whole lot longer.
I say try making it go the right way.

Caren I've started some upside down. They straighten themselves. Everything was OK.
