I read with interest that you use jiffi pellets - do you remove the netting once the cutting has rooted?

I found once when I bought some cuttings that came in jiffi pellets they never formed tubers as the net restricted them.

I would be interested in hearing.

i ha may be a bit short on varitys butve managed to save some of them my palhas some for me so its not to bad i might not have a lot of varitys but its all a learning curve and hopefully will learn from my mistakes the proof will be when they flower as to wether i have got things right or wrong ha ha i am goint to pot them in the garden as the tubers were quite big some of mine still havent came away i think i will give up on them now they have been in since the end of jan but they were some that came as cuttings from halls they seemed poor
