This clone was taken after some one killed my 3 month old plant which was female and i found it cut up into many peices but i took about 3 cuttings and stuck them in a glass of water and after a week 1 of them has roots (the other 2 have little stumps of roots so in a couple days theyll be ready) heres some pictures

24 hour update - the bottom leaves are very light and and drooping like wet paper and feel like theyre about to fall off i think the plant is taking nutes from the leaves to grow new roots because this cutting had another set of leaves before that came off, rest of the leaves are starting to droop but are still green I think the plant is just shocked from being put from 100% water into soil, i also dug up the plant (know i shouldnt but i was curious and i wont do it again) but the roots are about 30% bigger then in the preivous picture so hopefully its roots will be big enough to support the plant size within a week so it can start growing again ( yes im going to put the plant in a bigger container) well heres a picture from today and feel free to post and tell me anything im doing wrong.
- A observant person would notice there is alot of water in the cup, that is because i just watered it then took a pic and im also going to be watering it everyday with about 4 ounces of water which is twice as much and twice as often as i would for a plant this size normally because again of the small roots.. i think im gonna leave the other two that are still cloning in water until roots are much bigger then this one i think i planted it too soon and thats why its doing a little bit crudy right now. Also this plant ONLY GETS ABOUT 2-4 hours of direct sunlight a day im doing this because im afraid the plant will burn if i give it longer sunlight due to the size of the roots cant supply enough water to the plant for that long of a period, in about a week im going to move it to a spot with 8+ hours of direct sunlight and i live in florida SO ITS STRONG sunlight thats why all my other plant grew so fast i think but if im wrong once again please tell me these are 3 female cuttings im dealing with and this is my first time ever doing this..

Dude, 4oz of water isn't going to be enough, you're going to need at least 8....:thumbsup:

Whats all that white "fuz" on the ground all around the cup..?
Looks like mold I would take that little girl & move her to a more dry area..
its just dry crusty stuff on the branches that soaked up water during the rain its not mold its nothing to be worried about =)
