Since the weather has warmed up again I've got my 18 potted cuttings sitting outside to enjoy it. Well that lasted a few days now the rain is moving in. So far it's only been spotty but they're saying heavier rain on the way this weekend. Should I put them back into the greenhouse or just leave them out to enjoy the rain?

As long as it isn't freezing, I'd leave them out. If you see that the pots are filling with water and the soil is disappearing, you may want to put them in the gh. Just remember they rooted in water, so they can take a little rainstorm!

Thanks Sandi, you're right, they did get rooted in water D'Oh! I've got a good amount of medium perlite mixed in with the potting soil so they should drain fairly well but I'll keep an eye on them.

So long as they are not sitting in water and the soil is well drained I would think they would be fine.

Thanks, they've been back in the greenhouse for quite awhile now. Still too much of a frost chance to get them planted.
