I did a few dozen cuttings a couple of weeks ago (a couple of weeks early) and so far they are mostly doing well. I used a mixture of peat and perlite. I placed the small pots in a large open-top plastic container and covered them with a plastic covered frame. I did a lot of cuttings last year with low sucess rate but the ones that survived are ready to plant now but I'll wait till the weather gets cooler. Thanks for the tips everyone. Marshall

We pot up when roots appear out the bottom of the pots of cuttings. With Clonex treatment at preparation time plus bottom heat and misting, it takes around 3-4 weeks for roots to appear at the bottom of the pots.

My dusky bells is against a west facing fence and gets full summer sun from before lunchtime until dark. It's growing brilliantly.
