Hello! Finally, after 4 years of trying various methods, I've gotten cuttings from a (female) garrya elliptica plant to grow roots (~1-2"). Now I'm troubleshooting moving the cuttings from perlite into soil. I planted one small cutting in the ground (that looks sad/wilted now, maybe too much sun/water) and one in a small pot. The potted one is getting brown spots on the leaves, thinking that's a bad sign (stem rot?). I have a small handful left to try. So, I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for how to transfer these plants successfully into pots and/or the ground? My theory is maybe less water in the soil? Or the wrong type? I used a potting mix in the small pot. And/or not enough humidity. Wondering if I should cut the leaves in half and/or go heavier on the sand/perlite and lighter on the water and then plant it in shade? Or should I keep the re-potted cuttings inside (in a humidity dome?) until they're bigger - or at least showing signs of growth? - and only bottom water. My ultimate goal is to have a female plant in the yard to go with the male I already have to provide fruit for the birds some day! And cuttings for friends. I wish nurseries sold female plants too and not just the showy males. :) Thanks for any help!
