I like the idea of trying just a few if I didn't already take them beyond some stage where they can't stay in dormancy. I'm not sure how I would know that? I'll be home in a couple hours and can pull one out and look at the bottom. Maybe I just try that maroon color which I like the least?
Although if I'm going to pay for the lights to be on I might as well fill the area underneath....
Can someone clarify, what gets them started in their rooting media? We keep talking that they have to stay dry. Is that initial one time soaking in water that tells them to start growing roots? Or is the movement of a stem from a dry, dark place to a nice warm and sunny pot what gets them to start thinking they need roots? If the roots aren't out yet and the stem is still firm I can tell them nevermind, go back to your dry, dark winter resting spot?
