Step 15

Using a zipper type sandwich bag cover the pot and seal with a rubber band at the bottom. Or you may also use a larger zipper bag and zip it closed at the top.      Pictures 14, 15, 16

Step 16

Place in well-lit area with no direct sunlight.

Step 17 Every few weeks check to make sure there is no mold. Also check to be sure the cutting is not drying out. If there is mold allow some ventilation but not let it dry out.
Step 18
After 6 to 8 weeks if the cutting still looks healthy you can allow some ventilation and gradually increase its exposure until the plastic can be removed. Occasionally spray mist the cutting keeping it  moist and wait for new growth.
