Hi
@offofthegreen:
My houseplants that I root in the kitchen window, seem to grow stronger roots, much more quickly, and go on to grow in pots with more success. I have stuck some cuttings from garden plants in water inside and outside at the same time, to compare and for me, outside plants root better outside. And my houseplants do better inside. Others may have a different experience. Here in my neck of the woods, mornings and evening always cool off 10 or more degrees, I just have a feeling the lack of temperature change is not ideal for plants use to living outside. As for plants not transitioning well to soil, if started in water is true for me to some extent, but coleus, Hoya Bella, and even Hoya all give me a quicker start in water. Others do have a different experience tho. I do think my kitchen window has great light for rooting.
