| I am after some advice for my cheese plant cutting. I had in soil but noticed it started going black at the ends and rotting. I cut of the black ends and put it in a jar with water and within a few hours the ends started to go black again. Should I keep it in water or put it back in soil?    |

| Oh my lord not again. You have been the victim of a node flipper. I would trim off the rot on top with a razor, treat with fungicide and place in damp (not wet) sphagnum moss. You have no node above those roots for new growth to come from. You may be able to get a new shoot from that eye below the root but its not a guarantee.

| Yes eBay is a big source of node flippers. Some of these folks (I am not saying ALL of them, but a lot of them) import these cuttings from Asia and never grow the plants themselves they just resell the imported cutting Award winning beaded art at ceinwin.deviantart.com! |
