Help! My favorite life-form is dying! |
|
My Easter Cactus. I took a large cutting (about 24 leaves) to transplant it. It's been 2 weeks now and it is slowly dying and not recovering.
The smaller cutting, that I accidentally knocked off (9 leaves) is thriving.
What can I do to save the larger cutting?
Thanks!!

1. Possibly some rooting hormone (Vitamin B1)? |
|
That ought to stimulate it to put down some roots.
Greenhouse ought to have it.

2. you HAVE to let the cut completely heal over,completely dry before U plant |
|
it.. if you plant the cut wet the plant will die.. and even if you let it scar over dry and plant it and keep it really wet it will also die
