Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences. I am going to try again. I like the idea of the clear bottle. I think that was the most anxiety provoking issue... is it rooting or not! definitively will go with the perlite. I have already purchased some. Should I wait to order a new plant or can they be started anytime? Our weather here in Eastern Washington as been very odd - 92 degrees then low 60s. I want to be able to move the plant outside for the heat and sunshine but worry that our weather isn't consistent enough yet. In the house I had a grow light but no extra heat on the plant - maybe I'll get some sort of heat lamp type to increase the heat, any suggestions on what works best and is safe in the house?
again. thank you!
