    Split into five individual small pots of potting mix and moved to the outside cuttings tray. Some rot trimmed, but fresh shoots on all of them. See root records.

    Rooted and growing. Two cuttings in a paper cup with gritty soil and stones, a few more in a reused tub. A couple of stems have died back to bare brown sticks.
