I decided to give rooting some new plants a try again a few weeks ago. I tried everything else so this time I just stuck some cuttings in a jar of water. In the past they always rotted before sprouting but I never took the cuttings off a dormant plant in spring.
Two weeks in and I notice that about half the cuttings are growing roots out the sides of the cuttings. What surprised me is that the roots are coming out above the water, near the top not at the bottom.
A few sprouted small green leaves at the nodes but I don't get the roots being that high up vs in the water? At this point the roots are just inch long hairs but they're pointing straight out sideways not down into the water.
