Why do the leaves turn brown

Jessica Francis

5 years ago

Hi, 3 days ago one of my cuttings started to leaf out and today when I check on them the leaf is brown. I have leaves coming out on other cuttings as well why do they turn brown after few days.
I don't cover my cuttings. I keep them in a shaded warm area. Should I start covering them with clear bags?

we need to know what plant ... the entire process .. are you cutting at a leaf node where roots might pop out?? ... how big are the cuttings.. etc ...

and we need a pic ..

just telling us the leaves brown tells us not much more than the cutting is not sucking in enough water to live long enough to root ..
