But is the greenhouse temperature controlled? Cuttings will not root if it's too hot for them to take up moisture fast enough before the roots start to form. Keep an eye on them, and if they start to wilt, they're done. If they stay perky, and then begin to put on new growth, you have roots.

Chrysanthemums are better propagated by divisions of the clump either in late fall or early spring.

i have some cuttungs of white chrysantemums that succeeded on my patio in potting soil......i just thought while i was in tel -aviv yesterday and felt the strong humidity knowing that plants grow faster in humid areas(for example i have cuttings of fuchias some in a shaded patio -no direct sun and some wich have rooted very nicely in a greenhouse the ones in the shade are not moving ....just sitting in water....no even rotting....
i thought i will root the chrysanthemums in half water half soil in a greenhouse.-direct sun high humidity...
what do you think.
