I did a couple in a pot a few months ago they have budded with new leaves how long until i see a root it doesnt feel like there roots if i gently pull ?thanks

[@PotsTrowels]

They should be forming roots by now but give them a little longer

[@Heart-cy9tb]

Do you often water the cuttings in the soil?

[@PotsTrowels]

The short answer is no, but we discuss this on tomorrow's podcast, hope that helps! -Sean
