hmmmm . . . well ya got me there April . . . I'm not familiar with the "TS Tangerine" . . . about how long did they take to root? Most of the cuttings I've taken take about a week or so . . . but I was reading that the harder wood plants take a good deal longer. Like the Bougainvillea I'm also attempting, according to the info I read, they take about 3 - 4 weeks with a softwood cutting.

btw - I took the softwood parts from the Esperanza for rooting. A few of the trimmed branches were a bit wilted before I even considered trying to root them, so I got them in water asap and then selected the better looking ones and only took the soft tips from the ends of the branches.

Here's how they look today . . . mixed in with a few other cuttings.
