Unlike the others I purchased, these cuttings didn’t seem very developed and had no roots. I placed them in substrate below nodes (I planted some in sand and others in aquasoil, but it seemed to make no difference.) but many of the stems have melted partially or fully away. Everything else I ordered was perfect and the seller service was great, just not a good experience with these cuttings.
Everything from the customer service to the quality and size of the plants are absolutely amazing. This will be the only place I buy plants moving forward. Thank you 😊
