Now if you get the good contact that you need, it is hard to screw it up from here! I did not have a plastic dome to go over my plants so I placed a clear plastic garbage bag over my plants after I misted them really well.
I then put mine into a 70-75 degree room. For the first day or two they stayed in front of a window with diffused light. Then they went under a grow light. I misted them in the morning and again at night. It stayed moist under the clear plastic with constant high humidity. After about 6 or 7 days you could tell which grafts had taken and which hadn't. The ones that started to wilt by day 6 or 7 were not going to make it. After about 7 days I would take off the plastic and keep an eye on things I misted them after taking off the plastic. Now you can harden them off and get them used to outdoor conditions. Take it one step at a time. Maybe put them in a spot that is partly shaded and cool, then the next day get them into a sunnier spot.
