[UPDATE]
Its been a whole week and my cuttings have been drying out in my garage.
It's a bright and sunny day, the perfect day to get these bad boys in some pots. I went over to Lowes and picked up all the necessary tools.
Since these will only be in pots for 6-12 months, I opted to just purchase some gallon paint jugs and drill some holes in them (They are a quarter of the price). Ill move them from pots to the ground once I feel they have properly rooted and are healthy for transplant.
Mixed soil with perilite and then dampened it. dipped the cuttings in root hormone.
Stuck those suckers in maybe half a foot into the soil. Put a stake right next to the trunks and tied them with some garden wire so they dont fall. I moved them into the sunniest part of the backyard and then added some rocks on top that will hopefully maintain extra warmth.
Now we play the waiting game. What do you guys think? Did I miss anything? How long do you think before I start seeing some progress? Any tips on what to do now?
