I believe Hurray! Hurray!
And here is the proof. All of the Erwin semps had the roots and part of the crown cut off before shipping, so no roots at all. We lost so many of the semps from the 2012 order because we couldn't get them to grow roots. Well, no trouble this time. Hurray!
June 29 Plants arrived and were immediately planted and watered with the half strength Quick Start. Misted almost daily until the following Monday.
July 6 Plants watered again with half strength Quick Start.
And here we are today, July 10, and we have roots. Hurray!

They are now starting to grow new leaves from the center of the rosette. This is like a miracle. I have some other plant genus that I will be using this one to kick start them.
Did I tell all of you that I believe Hurray!

Thank you Kevin for not giving up on me. He has been trying for 2 or 3 years to get me to try Quick Start.
This is for you Kevin Group hug
