more roots...on the poinsettia cuttings

As I arrived at work this morning, I walked out in the greenhouse and noticed more roots forming.  We are entering the next phase of propagation which is the callus and the roots.  Less mist is required but the Oasis Wedge (the rooting media) must stay moist.  If it dries out, the wedge will never rehydrate.

To circumvent some of those problems, I have been using a capillary mat.  Capillary mats allow for irrigation from the bottom up.  The benefit is dry leaves with moist rooting stems.
