Hi tarev
Thanks for the info.
The media that I had before was lightly sandy, which seemed to be more peat based, I can make a fresh mix with perlite & just the sand from the original mix.
Yes I saw your comment after, as for the pot it's in a 3" pot for convenience at the moment. As I have lots in a small space and I have a nice little container that sit's snugly around it.
If you think this is best then I'll re-pot again now before it settles in.
I never had any luck with the leaf pull, so rip leaf so it get some of the hormones from the cinnamon, then dip with gel to aid growth and success rate of a strike or not. As all the previous attempts without just dried out and died.
Looking forward to your advice.
