Hi,

I used some water saluable rooting tablets. You let the tablets disolve and then allow cuttings to sit in the solution. I also stipped a little bark exposing more possible rooting surface.

The tablets were a free sample, now all used up.

You see roots in about 6 weeks.

Later,
Tom

Hi Tom,

What kind of rooting hormone did you use - powder or gel - assuming you used hormones? Also, what temp and about how long before roots appeared?

Cheers, Bizmark

Hi,

Dormant cuttings work best for currants.

Initially, I used 1 liter milk bags (rinsed out) for rooting. You get to
see roots that way.

I will have loose fitting lids on my topsy-turvey tomatoes. Too much
water loss otherwise.

Later,
Tom

Hi Tom,

I spotted your nafex posting and just had to ask about your currant
seedlings. Did you manage the process the "long way" or do you have
another
method up your sleeve?
We're about to go into black currants in a fairly intense way, and I'd
love
to find out your approach.

Also, for a previous thought on upside down tomato growing, it might be
interesting to try one with something growing on top, plus another
without.
The little plants are all about 5 to 6 inches tall and thriving. They
should
be a decent size when planted out - but, what would you think is the
minimum
size a plant should be to turn it upside down?

Cheers, Bizmark.
