I started my cuttings in mid-May. I have 6. Two of them finally started opening leaves, but the other 4 have a set of very young leaves, but have not really gone further, so I finally pulled two just to see if any rooting has occurred, and find it hasn't. No sign of rotting, so hoping there might be something I can try to get them to move along. Should I maybe make a fresh cut and remove the old wound, re-powder with rooting powder and try again? Or should I just re-powder and repot? Or should I just repot and keep hoping for something to occur? That is 4 of the cuttings addressed.
One of the remaining 2 has what appears to be perhaps a single root starting. It is fairly thick and blunt...but definitely wasn't there when originally planted and doesn't really look like what I would normally expect a new young root to look like. This one I will just repot and see what happens. (picture of root included and another to show how the new leaves appear).
One of the cuttings doesn't have any roots yet, but the bottom of the cut has started to "expand" (sorta like the middle half of the cut area has pushed out a bit), but no actual roots. But also no appearance of rot or softening of the hard cutting either, so I'm hopeful.
I should mention that all leaves were initially removed, so the short unopened young leaves have grown since potting them (these are only approx. 1 inch to maybe 1-1/2 inches), so I was hoping this was a sign of rooting, but apparently not. I will wait for suggestions before I repot.
