Adjusted for age, cancer was more common in the 1950s, when pollution of all kinds was more common.  I'm speaking of the USA.  This would be different in other parts of the world.

Walt. I would not think you would have to worry much about pollution living in Kanopolis.

You've heard of Kanopolis?  My garden/orchard is across a fence from farm land on both sides.  Right now both fields are being used for hay with no spraying.  But any time one or both farmers could change to other crops and spray herbicides and/or insecticides which might blow onto my land.

Walt, of course I've heard of Kanopolis.   I also have farms on 3 sides of my place, and the forth side is a house that I own. No one actually lives there, the entire place is used as  our farm headquarters.

What is the humidity level of your cuttings?  It may be too low.

Humidity isn’t a problem usually, my cuttings tend to foliate before rootgrowth which tells me that it’s too high. Is it a good thing to allow foliation before the growth of roots appear?

This is the way I have it done. Water from the bottom always in the baggies. Bottom heat.
