What temperature would be needed for leaf cuttings in water? Mine have not budded, I moved them to a waterlogged paper towel under grow lights. I still have some in room temp. water. It does get cold at night in the garage. 40s to 50s.

i prefer 70f+ this can take a month btw

Mine have always budded better under 70 degrees. They usually bud within a 2 weeks - 1 month.

When I bud them in hot conditions, or in 2 bright light (for example, under the normal conditions that you would grow your CPs), they tend to take a longer time. But interestingly, when budded under hotter conditions, with brighter light, they tend to form more buds.

Here's a leaf budded under hot temperatures and bright light:
It did take over 2 months to bud
