My most recent cutting rotted. Badly. I planted it in soil. Nothing else. But it got rained on.
My first cutting 10 years ago did super good and I still have the tree. That was Beginner's Luck because I stuck it in the dirt outside and just left it. It went through several winters before I finally potted it and began treating it better. She still loves me.
I am new here, too. But you can earn these acorns by posting on the Plant Database or posting an idea. There are other ways, too. And I've just learned people can give others acorns. How cool is that! Go up there to "Your Profile" and see what collecting acorns is all about.
Badges cost 5 acorns so you have to work really, really hard at collecting acorns. They go as fast as real cash! I have been working as hard as a squirrel in the spring digging up all my acorns. Now they tell me you can win fabulous prizes in a raffle using your acorns? What fun!
