Hi rootball,

I didnt put mine in water, dipped for a few secounds in the nettle solution and then planted them in pots using the potting compost (damp not wet) i use for seeds, ie the cheapest i can get my hands on! ha ha ha

I then put them on a warm stone in my greenhouse, with a dish of water next to them loosely covered, and not touching, with some plastic ( the plastic i used isnt clear its sort of cloudy! , open ended.This is to keep up the humidity. Not explaining this very well, sorry! Basically, warm bottoms and cooler tops encourage root growth. Remember to take off most of the leaves so that the cutting can concentrate on making roots not feeding the plant. I aired mine a couple of times a day just by lifting off the plastic and then replacing. Make sure they do not dry out, BUT dont waterlog them either. Once established slowly increase the amount of light they are getting over a few days. Mine were on bottom shelf of a rack i use for sowing seed.

Dont worry if they loo a bit sick for a few days its normal while they try to set down roots.

Many thanks for the offer of seaweed feed, very much appreciated. But as the nettle feed has worked i will stick with that. Think i got my small bottle with an order of seeds from the organic seed compnay, i will look out the link for you.

Good luck. It is always so rewarding growing from seed and even more exciting to propogate something you already have.
