cuttings update

My Schefflera cuttings have been sitting in a quiet corner, indirect light on their plastic house. I opened it today to check on them, noticed quite a few yellowed leaves falling. Turns out they were coming off the larger cuttings, and one even had mold growing on the cut end. So I threw those out. Don't want mold spreading.
The smaller two look quite healthy, nice bright green and no fading leaves. I've left those sealed under plastic, it might be a few more weeks before new growth shows, when I'll know they have roots established.
