When you say root in perlite, no watering - does that mean DRY perlite? I have read to wet down the perlite and then plant, and then not water again until there are leaves. But sometimes it seems like the advice is to root in a completely dry medium - can that be?
I have a cutting that I bought (potted), thinking it was a rooted plant. When I went to re-pot it, it had NO roots whatsoever, apparently just had a blooming branch hacked off and stuck into dirt. The end in the dirt is still nice and solid but all the branches are wrinkled and a little soft.
It was SO pretty. Blossoms very tiny and delicate, white with pink, or pink with white. Tag on it says "Fire on Ice". I really hope it will make it! Any advice to help me save it?
