They said it was over… but this cutting disagrees.
This is my third attempt at rooting DTE—currently sitting at a proud 0 for 2 this season. Naturally, I declared this one “the charm” right out of the gate. And to be fair, it played along at first: buds swelling, leaves popping, even a few roots making an appearance like it actually had plans to live.
Then came the crash. Everything stalled. No new roots, the existing ones browned out, and the cutting started wrinkling into that all-too-familiar reddish-brown “impending doom” phase we all know and dread. A scratch test at the soil line sealed it—or so I thought—peeling back like a ripe banana. Not exactly reassuring.
And yet… 3-4 weeks of absolute silence a new leaf decides to emerge like it didn’t get the memo. Now it’s sitting in the ICU, somehow pushing out a few fresh white roots like a last-minute comeback montage.
So here we are… miracle in progress, or just a long term psychological experiment??
