Good to have you back on board again snute2008 ; hope you are at full strength soon xx I've just boxed up my tubers over the last few days....have lost a few...but that's par for the course. My GH is in full sun as well so I keep the fleece on them; after giving them a good soak to get them going....then do the same as Ian |

Thanks Lou, I did not think of using fleece. I will give that a try.

Given them a good soaking so fingers crossed. The heat mat is working just not sure how wet to keep the capillary matting. Just keeping it damp now see what happens.
I managed to save one of my garden friends tubers so really hoping it shoots and I can get some cuttings.
I will let you know.

snute2008 got some in mushroom trays and some in individual pots and some in a garland titan tray. The mushroom trays dry out quite quickly I am finding. I am having to increase the water now. Lots of cuttings almost ready to take . Will start getting a bit more intensive now.
