Thank God!
I just received a number of Hawaiian kava cuttings in the mail this week. They were shipped in wet sphagnum moss, but the ends still were dried a bit. I cut off a few mm of the dried end on the fatter side of the cuttings, dipped in rooting solution, and placed in fairly wet rooting mix (70% sphagnum finely ground). Is it risky to use pretty wet medium? What else do I need to do? Are there any online resources on how to root kava cuttings?
I am quite happy to have scored multiple cuttings of : Honokane Iki, Papa Kea, Papa Ele Ele, Papa Ele Ele Puu Puu, Nene, Hiwa, and Pana Ewa. Of course human nature being what it is, I think of the other cultivars I'd love to score: Mo'i, Mahakea, Hanakapi Ai, Borongoru, Pouni Ono, and Rahmedel. I've looked up the kava reviews, and there is limited info on Honokane Iki, Pana Ewa, Papa Ele Ele, and Papa Ele Ele Puu Puu. DOes anyone have experience with these cultivars? I've had a lb of Papa Kea before. It was as described by others, strong, but not spectacular in complexity.
