I have one potted up and eight which have rooted and are waiting to be potted. Not quite as impressive as you but it was a 100% success rate.

Mine did well too and I had all types of cuttings and all sizes just to learn about it. The tiny ones did as well as the larger ones really, so in future, I would probably take the in between size. These very small cuttings are rooted, but still small. |

These very small cuttings are rooted, but still small. The small cuttings will still make normal size plants, Cherry.  I find cuttings from 2 to 4in do best for me anything bigger than that i find are more likely to fail for me.  |

Lost i would say half a dozen out of about 200 cuttings.
15 left to root. Got about 60 in their final 5" pots and in the cold frame to slow them down a bit. The rest have been selected for potting on, so this year i shall have all the plants i need, plus a load of extras to try out down the allotment, and quite a few to give away to neighbours and family.

if i place my new plants into 4inch pots and plant them in the garden i know that it will restrict the groth of the tuber but would it restrict the number of blooms i would likely get i presume they are planted in pots so the tubers dont grow too big for storage

You are right in saying the small pots will restrict tuber size. You will still get a good number of stems and blooms from the restricted tubers |

I might throw a spanner in the works now  ; I've planted small cactus and decs in 15cm (6 inch) pots for a patio and found that the overall size of the plan and the blooms were restricted. However, plenty of them and other folk said how nice they were. Have to say that to my "purist" eye they were pretty rubbish because they were not as they should have been! |

I agree with what you said about the planting in the 6in pots on the patio, i would expect the same result. But just to throw the spanner back lol if you had planted the 6in pots into the soil instead of the patio, you would have seen a different result. When you plant the pot into soil the feeder roots come out of the drainage holes into the surrounding soil, this gives you the same size plants plants and flowers has if you had planted straight into the soil. Now its your turn to throw the spanner back lol ;D |
