Hey i wonder if any one can advise me, I've just been given a really nice cutting infact it's the top 4-5 inches of the plant! But cant get home with it until tomorrow will it keep in a plastic bag in my car until tomorrow? Reluctant to bring it in my girlfriends mums house but will if I need to keep it in water. Any advise would be much appreciated. Thanks

tops of the plants have less hormones...but it should be fine if you have get on it wrap it up but if not id sink it in some water. i remember trading cuttings at reg on the riv and leaving them in my van for a few this way and they all took once i got home

It cant just sit in a bag. Cuttings are fragile and need care. Wrap a wet paper towel or cloth around the cut end to prevent air from getting into the stem and help prevent it from drying out. It's just a baby, and you wouldn't leave a baby in the car, right?

the tops of these plants have the most hormones and auxins.

tops are the worst to take cuttings from sit a minute in any co-op and watch/listen to the cloners...but we all have opinions

Can't you put it in the fridge? It slows down degradation and then when u dip it in hormone make sure you make a fresh cut.
