@Kaktus, thank you for this step by step process. I wish I have a seedling that size right now, I would have followed along.
Others use "aloe vera" as a fungicide. I have not tried it but I bought an aloe vera for next time I need it.
On your last experiments, I have a few right now from when I chopped the roots of my adeniums from root rot. (Great minds think alike
). It's been a couple months, not a single sign of leaf but some roots are turning green. It is understandable that leaf
will not grow from the stump right away because there are no leaf nodes but I think they eventually will. Others shriveled away because I let them air dry instead of planting them right away when the roots were strong and healthy. So I might have a headstart on this last experiment if mine will not die.
(I applied cinnamon, then I applied waterproof wood glue on the stump when they dried.)
