Hi John,
Glad you got your cutting, it was hard to pack them in the Flat Rate box, I never use those, but I had to in order to print your label straight from USPS,usually I just print the label from PP.
I always remove the bottom wax, you can cut 1/8'' 1/4'' of to get rid of the wax.
There is many ways to root cuttings, like ManVF. in an open coffee cup, reg. 7-11 store plastic drink cup with a lid, the Fig pop method,like ones in the container over cable tv box, some in a plastic storage container outside sitting on the ground, and the 1 gal. container with a Pepsi Bottle over it, there are many ways, use what works best for you!
