Hi, i have a question about disinfection of cuttings prior to rooting. Soaking in variuos solutions and disinfectants help to reduce a risk of various diseases, bacteria and viruses of vines. I would be very thankful if those, who do this kind of treatment to cuttings, could share their method: what do you use, in what proportion, and for how long do you soak?
 
I have used a dilute copper solution, weaker then what might be sprayed on in dormancy, because I don't want something to interfere with rooting. I haven't really soaked, just swished and pulled cuttings out to dry. I had mildew on a few things before, this cut down on the issues. Some cuttings I got, forgot to do this. Yuck, bad fungus.
