Semi-Ripe Fuchsia Cuttings Rooted in Perlite

After three weeks, this cutting is just starting to throw new roots and is ready for pricking out in compost before they get too long.


Mulit-purpose compost will do on its own. But I have thrown in some perlite (the white objects) to help aeration. This will allow me to compress it as necessary without restricting air passage. Perlite is really good for this. You can buy it in most garden centres.

After spraying lightly with water, the cuttings will develop if left in a light - but not sunny - place.
