    Potting on seedlings

    Seedlings tend not to worry too much about the exact potting compost, or even the exact watering. But I think the cold gets to everything.

    Lavatera cuttings

    Sounds about right to me, they should be 4 to 6" long. Lavatera are good confidence builders, they root quite easily. You could try salvia and sambucus too.

    Dead Cuttings!

    Sue, Pamsdish, for this type of plant you layer stems. Pin down any stem close to the ground. The stem will root from any leaf axil in touch with the ground.
