Thankyou for that..
My cuttings were dipped in a rooting hormone (powder) and then planted in cactus and succulent compost as suggested by the lady we got them from. By the sounds of it, even though we were advised, we have watered to soon so I will probably stop watering now until the leaves have come through. I have attached a couple of pictures to show the tips which look healthy.
The one that I think is beginning to suffer from root rot I did the poin test and there was no white sap from about half way down. Do you suggest I cut its to save the rest of the cutting?a
I forgot to add... the rooting hormone I don't remember having a rot prevention and I have used it all now so I can't check.
