So I have taken cuttings (salvia,osteospermum and agastache) for the first time and I have them on my bedroom window sill.
They appear to have done well and I can see little roots coming out of the bottom of the pots.
So what now? Do they stay inside?
Do I need to repot them? as have three plants per pot. Will they be ok with central heating? I don't have a proper green house just a mini zip up shelving thing. Would they survive outside?
Please share your wisdom as I don't want to loose them as I'm quite proud of this little achievement.
Thank you in advance.

I’d leave them in the current pots until they’ve put on some substantial leaves.
The house might be too warm for them as they can be susceptible to mole and rot if wet and warm.
Can you move them to a cooler situation, but still indoors? Frost will kill them, mine are in an unheated greenhouse so they might be ok in your poly cold frame. You could add fleece if it’s going to be below freezing.

Thank you for your reply.
I think I will move them into the spare room and turn the radiator down.
Thanks again Smile

Agree with BeeBumble - don't rush to move cuttings on, especially at this time of year. They will carry on appreciating a reasonable amount of light.
