    Hi well I put some dahlia cuttings into my prop on Saturday/Sunday and they have all started going limp and brown:cry3: . The compost is moist and the prop is in a warm room with the sunny days we have had. Do you think that they are two warm? This is the first time I have tried dahlia cuttings and I have loads of them and I thought they were easy to do:noidea:

    Only thing I remember about Dahlia cuttings is, the hollow ones wont root.

    If the propagator is in the sun then I think you need to move it to good indirect light.
