neat stuff

Use this trick to keep your cuttings fresh until you can stick them.

Wrap cutting ends in damp paper towels, place in a gallon size zip lock bag. Close the bag, except for a small space at the end of the 'zipper'.

Blow into the bag, causing it to expand, like a balloon. Quickly close the bag 'zipper'.

Plants need carbon dioxide to live. We inhale oxygen, exhale carbon dioxide. Therefore, you are giving them a good supply of what they need when you blow into the bag.

The cuttings will stay fresh for a long time.
