Big time? I don't think so. Those kits were off an endcap at Menards!

The way I figure it is that I start the Beautyberry the same way I started the others and we cross our fingers and toes and see what happens.

Worse case scenario is that Dode and me come back and try again taking new growth cuttings of the Viburnum unknownacus, both Fothergilla, and the Beautyberry again in June. We can dip them all in Hormex #8. I could start half in the gel cups and half in yogurt cups using Dax's mix-
Quoting:1.5 parts Peat Moss
1 part vermiculite
1 part perlite
2 parts sand - The sand needs to be microwaved for about 3 minutes per 'large bowl that isn't too large for your microwave.'


We can really test out what works and what doesn't.

Now, here's real tissue culture. That's Pinguicula vulgaris I have in there and I am going to play with some Cypripedium reginae or maybe it was kentuckiense for Dode. Speaking of which, I need more magenta boxes.
