I just did this too with some flowers that I started (marigolds , double holyhocks, etc) and with some heritage tomatos. Did 50 cuttings and all but 2 are looking great. 2 are a little droopy, but maybe they will come out of it. I was hoping to just save a few, if I am able to save a bunch, even...
