I have a question. I have taken cuttings from a honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens), dipped in rooting hormone, placed in sand and enclosed in a plastic bag. This was about two weeks ago. There is no sign whatsoever of any root growth, and yet the plants themselves are growing like mad. They are about three times the size as they were when I started. How do they grow so much without roots? Wouldn't they need some sort of nutrients to grow? I keep digging them out of the sand, thinking they must have roots or they wouldn't be able to grow so fast, but they have none yet. My previous experience has been when new growth starts, there are probably roots, but not with these honeysuckle.
