Down but not Out

About a month ago I found rot on my Adenium. Luckily I was able to perform surgery before it got too bad and hopefully saved its life. As a thank you it’s now bare root blooming as a thank you I infer. Time to replant it and hope for better days.

How I Root My Cuttings

As a seller of tons of cactus cuttings I’m constantly asked how to root said cuttings, so I’m making this post to refer to:

1st) After the cutting has calloused over I fill up the bottom of my pot with my customized porous cactus mix. I personally stay away peat moss

2nd) I make a layer of pumice or crushed lava rock or perlite or a combination of the three and plant the cutting into into said inorganic matter.

3rd) I add another layer of inorganic matter above that surface to stabilize the cutting and ensure no organic matter touches the cut surface.

Lastly) I’ll either fill up the pot with pumice or I’ll add my cactus mix and then add topdressing (some kind of crushed decorative stone.

I always write on my pots the height of the cutting in the pot when I potted it along with the date I planted it for reference. I generally won’t water my cutting for 3 weeks to a month. I don’t wiggle or check for roots until a year later as to not disturb the rooting process.

This is my personal process. People always have their unique or different ways for doing things so no need to be critical of my process if yours is different. To each their own.

Grounded Cyphostemma currorii

I finally replaced the Cyphostemma currorii I killed with another one. I mounded it more and planted it in about 75% pumice and crushed lava rock. Praying this is the difference maker to keep her alive 🙏🏾
