I was wondering if anyone could tell me how if possible to put your cuttings into stasis for 5-6weeks?
Does it work if you just put all your cuttings in a tupperware with some water in the fridge?

water may help i don't know for sure. I have done this in the past by just putting them in tupperware and placing in the crisper of the fridge. No probs here.

1>>Take your cuttings, put them into water immediately to avoid air bubbles.
2>>Soak paper towels, cloths, or some medium that holds water.
3>>Wrap the stem tips where you made the cuts in the towel/cloth/etc.
4>>Seal the cuttings into an air-tight bag/container and mist the leaves.
5>>Refrigerate in darkness.
6>>Open container once a week to check for moisture and for fresh air, but only briefly.

I hear ya mary. I was completely unaware that you could put cuttings in stasis. That changes the rules completely! If I can save 'em for a week or three that makes things much easier. Seems like maybeI 'member something on GK about this. Have you done this personally, Indigo? Seems pretty simple

Is there a pretty good % to root after being in stasis?

yeah wa, 100% sounds pretty good :D
All kidding aside ever since i started using the ezclone, i have had 100% root. takes about 10-12 days, but 100% never the less. Using other methods i would have to say no drop off from putting them in stasis.
