By my reckoning, that's reducing the foliage mass by 5/8ths...

Good luck with that monster cutting, Ozzer! I have some F. rubiginosa cuttings that have inadvertantly rooted in large pickle jar filled with water - I was keeping them wet so I could whack them into soil with root powder, but time got away from me, and now they have little rootlets!!! I'm unsure how well they'll transplant, given the drastic change of medium...

Thanks.
