I used to do the drying of the stems but found I lost a few. Someone told me
to wrap them in newspaper and dunk them in a bucket of water. 100% success
and better root systems. This is better for pinks and reds as they seem to
have a different sort of stem to the whites and tricolours that grow in the
temperate zones.
Anyways my 2 bobs worth.
