Best Medium for cuttings going into Soil/Coco etc.

[Dai Fukem]

Hi,

Any tips on a good medium to start seedlings/cuttings in if transferring to soil/coco in autopots?

Also, any tips on supporting the stems during this time?

I have had issues in overwatering in the past, how often should I water during?

Cheers

I've been using peat pucks for a start... They seem to be okay..
Not really had any probs using them...

Soak for a few hours in water, squeeze out the excess and insert cutting :)

I got my last lot from greens but I can't see them in their shop any more... :(

there is rockwool/jiffy pellets are good as I have always used them with 99% strike rate.Don't let them get too wet as thegreenmachine said..squeeze out excess water but not too hard ,you need to leave air in the pellets..just make sure you don't leave any gaps where the stem is in the pellets,push the soil in the pellets against the stem and use a heated propagator but don't let the bottom dry out,add water to the bottom every few days
