make a little bubbler...like 1 gal rubbermaid that just barely holds the peat pellets...they should be about 1 inch above the water line with a airstone splashing bubbles onto the bottom of the peat pellet to keep it moist until the roots can grow out...you should be able to leave it for at least a week...make sure ph is 5.5 and they have very weak hydro nutes...
