My second batch of Crabapples cuttings I took on the 11th of May seem to be showing signs of 100% success. I didn't remove enough leaves initially, but the cuttings provided useful suggestions in that regard. I've kept in a clear storage bin, misted every third day or so, and washed out the bin once a week for mold/fungus. After 3 weeks and upon seeing new green growth, I provided a very mild rooting and propogation fert. Last night, I finally saw roots poking out the bottom of the Solo cups on 3 of 15!
My question regards humidity and hardening off. I'm south east of Boise Idaho. High plains desert. Extremely dry. I'm concerned about acclimating the cuttings to the much lower humidity. What is a good strategy for doing so? How long should i consider before moving into standard soil? Current mix for propogation is 50/50 peat and perlite. The Forsythia cuttings I replanted three weeks were pretty bullet proof, but those seem to be overall in general.
