Sometimes, it can take many months for a cutting to put out roots (we have had cuttings in good condition, from elsewhere, take up to 4 months to make roots) and, as the cuttings have only a limited amount of stored reserves to sustain them until the roots form. They can slowly deteriorate and take a while to recover enough, before being able to grow on strongly. Unlike some, we would rather take the extra time and effort with our stock, to send you actively-growing plants, that do not need to be nursed so much before you see results. c l o s e
