Cityfarm, to post a photo, click on the button above the text editing window that shows a landscape (left of the piece of film), the wizard should be pretty straight forward from there.

Yeah, I do that.. Acctaully I have to use my phone to take the photo's & post.. Then I go on the iPad to repost or edit..
Only sometimes will the blog allow me to post a photo. The iPad does not take photos...

This is cuban oregano from @Gallo del Cielo. I have tried just water, dirt, water than root hormone into dirt. Niw with no success i cut off the spot above the dead part & going with just root hormone. It has the best smell. Praying for success. .

I am actually pretty technologically handicapped but I guess I have learned a few things. Glad to help!

Interesting regarding the honey for rooting cuttings. Follow up question for anyone who's in an experimental frame of mind: Is it truly the honey that causes faster rooting, or is it because of the sugar? Any one want to try honey, and a similar solution with sugar?

Honey was used on wounds in ancient times . Germs , mold will not grow in it . I suspect the sugars help but keeping the wound free of decay is its biggest help .

But is that true for pasteurized honey (the mould bacteria part)?
I'll try the honey vs sugar thing out, as my dog crushed a bunch of my tomatoes seedlings and trying to root the salvageable bits is all I can do to save these plants...

Tomato suckers root pretty easily. You should be able to salvage some. Spare the pup....this time!

Lol he's safe.
Just rooted some from his last leap up to the bay window... See I'm at fault (ha) I put my plants in the big bay window where dog likes to sit...
