Sure Way With Cuttings
Some cuttings are- difficult to strike and are apt.to wither before they form roots. Obtain a ten inch and a three inch, flower pot. and in ~ the drainage hole of the latter push a cork to make it watertight. Put a few crocks in the largerfiiA® for drainage, and on them stand the small pot.: Fill the space between • with; a. sandy compost, 'then fill the vthreermch 'pot with water. Insert the cuttings'in the compost and cover with a sheet of glass. The moisture which soaks through the small pot will keep, the compost uniformly moist, and the glass covering will create a moist atmosphere in which the cuttings will be prevented from flagging until they have made roots.
