# Hey! So I have a boat lily that was getting bare in the middle and…

_Geplaatst door Leafmealone op 2023-09-05_

Hey! So I have a boat lily that was getting bare in the middle and overgrown. I cut it all the way down and repotted the root ball then dipped all the cuttings in root hormone and potted up into 4 other pots! My question is, when should I water the cuttings and should I wait any certain amount of time before putting them back in pretty direct sunlight? Any experienced help appreciated!

Water right after putting the cuttings in soil. Keep cuttings in bright indirect light until they get over the stress of the cut and starts to put out roots. Boat lily is a tradescantia and they start to put out roots within a week. Good luck.
