Having met with some failures in propagating my herbs which I just got from SGF, I am now down in the slumps and dispirited over the helplessness of losing my cuttings. It sure is frustrating to see your cuttings slowly perishing and find that you can do nothing about it. I should have learnt more about growing cuttings but I am disadvantaged by the lack of resources: back in the past, I would have certainly used my nifty (or handy) plant hormone solution that I got from a supermarket. Now that I have used up the said hormone solution and with no avenue of getting a new bottle, I am at a loss; I can only settle with planting directly into the soil and hoping providence will treat the cuttings well. So far not so good with that though, I must say! I have unfortunately been set back for the past few days without any sign of improvement showing in the propagation of those herb cuttings. Absolutely dejected by this outcome thus far, I can only see this as an experience of learning. Like what my cousin taught me, and I quote, "Success is a lousy teacher". Only with this experience do I get to learn something. Hopefully, I will get to yield success in the near future. It's fingers crossed yet again. Wish me luck!
