propagating mulberries from cuttings, mold question

I have almost no experience with propagation. my past experience has been take a cutting, dip it in hormone, stick it in some loose medium, if it grows I am the grand wizard of propagation, if it dies than the plant simply cant be propagated by anyone and no future attempts by the human race should be performed cause it simply cant be done!

Since joining this forum I am definitely overwhelmed with all the science behind plants.

To the point: I bought these Pakistan mulberry cuttings off e-bay a little over a week ago, seller offered some planting instructions and some helpful you tube links, I basically took the cuttings, cut the ends at an angle, dipped in root hormone, put in a loose soil and then ( new to me ) covered with a plastic bag after watering well.

I opened this morning and I see some green coming up. I also see some mold, what can you guys suggest?

The bag does touch the cuttings, it droops down onto these, I am concerned about this mold.

Should I just cover it all back up again and hope for the best, Id like to see green on all the cuttings, I dont at this point.  

This is a great question.
I have no experience,  but perhaps some neem oil would help?
Hopefully someone else will weigh in.

Interesting situation. The stems all look green to me!

I think the plastic bag is mainly for keeping the humidity up. It's very humid where I am also and unlikely things tend to mold. I haven't done mulberries yet, so I don't know how fragile they are. But if it was me, I would leave the bag off for a while until the tops dry out (but making sure the soil stays wet). Drying out might be enough to take care of the mold.

Hopefully someone with more experience can answer also.

I agree and would say the bag is only for keeping the soil moist but not the stems. The stems do not need to be moist. I would remove the bag and make sure the soil doesn't dry out completely.

Also pay attention to the buds, this is where you will see growth first if everything works out. They will become bigger, eventually open up and become leafs.

Thanks, Ill keep the bag off and stick them back in the window

You're welcome. Also a warm and well lid place is helping!

spray hydrogen peroxide on the mold.  the 3% stuff you get from stores.

Thanks. Seller also suggested that and I will do so if need be. Right now I'm letting them air
