I ordered stem cuttings of dichorisandra thyrsiflora (blue ginger) and have tried since Dec. to root then with no luck. The problem seems to be that they get wet logged quickly...I have tried to keep soil barely moist but still nothing. I've contact the seller and they haven't given any advice on how to root these, but I've received several more stem cuttings. Here's a photo of one when it arrived in package.

As you can see from the photo - there is a shoot from the node but the other end is very wet - no node.

Please help figure a way to get these to root Confused
