If using rockwool, these should be soaked for a few hours or overnight. Place rockwool or jiffy's into the perlite which will act as a wick to draw the water up to your cuttings/seeds. When roots show through the sides of the jiffy or rockwool, transplant into a bigger pot.
Do not spray your cuttings if you are using a propagator, just keep the vents closed for the first week. If you foliar spray as well you can easily cause damping off (stem rot). Always use a rooting hormone like Clonex with cuttings and use a clean scalpel blade to slice off your cutting.
U sing scissors can crush the cambrian (green outer skin of the plant) layer and cause rot. Plants are like people, they can get infected through cuts. Using a sterile scalpel blade for every batch of cuttings helps avoid future problems.
S oak/rest your blade in methylated spirits or Oxygen Peroxide between cuts for extra sterility Heatpads can be placed underneath the tray during the colder periods.,This Propagation set is 240mm Wide x 380mm Long x 180cm High and p rovides a moist environment for
