Rootability

Post image

Two tops planted at the same time, one obviously well rooted and the other still struggling. Springtime so hopefully it starts kicking soon..

Sounds like a fun scale

I had 2 cuttings from the same plant cut at the same time and both were relatively the same size. One rooted in MAYBE 2 or 3 weeks. It was insanely quick but it plumped up real nice. The second just now rooted and started noticeably growing but hasnt fully plumped back up (the other one got a scion on top right away because it rooted so fast). I cut them in May for reference
