Elgy asked:


I tried to follow the book instruction. Cut the a healthy leaf, plant it immediately and wait for the cutting to develop roots. I have never been successful. Is there any other tricks?

Ive tried to grow things loads of times. Nothing I take care of lives to tell the tale.

Ive had a bonsai on my windowsill – it was dieing from overwatering, then died from lack of water.
Ive had about 20 cuttings from different plants that have ALL failed to grow roots.
A fig tree that was already rooted that I re-potted and watered and it died in 1 day.

Please help me.
Im currently trying to grow “Datura metel Double white lady” from leaf cuttings. My source was a stoner who forgot to give me the leaves when he got them and most of them were rotten. One was still good and because it has big veins I decided to cut it up into several smaller cuttings.

I soaked them in IBA overnight before starting. Now after a week most of them are wilting but the main cutting is still barely alive in a glass of water covered in cling film.

Is a humidity chamber bad for a plant?
I like to put them in a perspex box in water and mist the box up so its really humid before I close it.

HELP!

That was probably the most unhelpfull answer you could think of. Ah well. I called my uncle and he said that I was probably cutting it in the wrong place with the wrong tools. Then he came over and he was right. Guess theres some benefits of having a BOT in the family XD
