Does that apply to clones as well, Dutchy?

[dutch.lover]

i would assume so...anything with a stem is prone to stem rot. you probably need to be even more careful with clones, because their soil stays wet much longer than with seeds because they don't have any roots to suck it up (if you are referring to fresh cuttings).

ps: i liked that you called me Dutchy! i like that nickname, maybe it will catch on.

I just assumed everyone already did. I do have 2 day old cutting and I noticed that the soil still hasn't dried out, obviously because I'm trying to keep it alive in hopes it roots, wonder if I should just take it out of the humidity tonight when I wake my other plant up from its 6 hr nap

the soil won't really start to dry out until the clone roots- at least a week from now. it's fine under the humidity dome, just make sure you open up the dome and fan the cuttings a few times a day to prevent mold and rot. i have cloned many a time now, and have never encountered stem rot on them. good luck!

Thanks for the info Dutchy...I may have lost one seedling to rot. Sigh. My girl and I had a ceremony for the little one as it was the first I've ever lost On the brighter side, I transplanted some the others into new soil (Black Gold) and different pots (out of those jiffy pots). We'll see how it goes...
