New Cuttings

Hi guys.....Well im kinda and sick/not well soo i have nothing to do at home...Just to waste some time i decided to try and cut some of my neps and try to make cuttings out of them..So far i've not been lucky with the cuttings except 1 ventrata so now im trying again....I have a big pot filled with peat/perlite so my as well just use it instead of leave there..



I cut of 4 vines....They are gracilis/viking and 2 ventratas...I'm really worried bout the gracilis cos its stem is SUPER THIN!!!???

Hope it turns out well! I havent tried cuttings yet...
i have a question... do you cut only the top(green) of the stem, or can you do a cutting with the brown on the bottom area?
 
I have pretty good success with Nep cuttings in a vase of water.

Generally, cuttings take more often when using green parts. The brown parts are harder to get to strike.
