Hi, Gloria.
I think that Roots thing is exactly what I've been needing for some little scraps I've been nursing along.
I've used rooting gels for three or four years, and they work wonders, but every so often, you get a plant that has some sort of fungal problem, because the new roots come in black, over and over. I've almost always lost the plant once that starts.
This stuff with the fungicide is worth me trying. Going to get some. So *thank you* for the url.
About the keiki paste, I've been pondering it for about 2 years, it seemed expensive for a try-out. But finally decided to try it. It's in a small jar about like eye cream (and just as dear), but you only use the tinist bit per stem. One little pot should do many dozens if not hundreds of plants.
I noticed that a lot of small nurseries offer meristems of their awarded plants. Usually just have one or two at a time, so I didn't think they were sending them to a lab. I thought the paste may be how they get them. Now I find it's so easy, I'm pretty sure that's it.
PS many thanks for many favors
