Please let me know if I can do anything differently?...
Newly acquired cuttings are showing some slight signs of wilt. Came in as AWESOME quality cuttings two days ago with crisp leaves and stems. Right now, they have kind of drooped over and look a little rubbery. I really don't want to kill this group of cuttings. My first attempt at growing up cuttings. Is this just an initial shock the cuttings are getting before they start to thrive again? Here's a rundown of the details.
-In 4" pots. 1" layer of Hydroton base. Filled rest of pot with moistened Grade-A Orchid Moss.
-Inside of a 40gal breeder as a grow out tank. Light diffuser panel in bottom to prevent water pooling [even though there is no standing water in the tank].
-Glass top to keep humidity in. Glass top has been slid back to allow 1/2" gap for air circulation.
-Dual T5 6500K light on top of glass lid.
-Misted once a day with some spray directed to Orchid moss as well.
