supposed to be rooted . but when i get to that , i would take and cut about 6"-7" PIECE AND TRIM ALL BUT ABOUT 3 LEAVES or 4 if they are small then cut off the lower nodes and then put in rooting hormone, then intos some rock wool , wich i believe is good  as far as water to air ratio, execelent starting medium.

just curious what kinda temps and humidity kratom prefers

My kratom has adapted pretty well. It was dormant until I moved it outside, were there are humid nights and pretty dry days. Warmth+Humidity on a standard basis will get you good growth. The most important thing is to not let the pot dry out.

I received a near-dead kratom from a friend. There were 2 stems with a few tiny stubs of leaves coming of the (only?) 2 nodes. It was placed in a little 1/2-gallon pot in regular potting soil. It came back to life and is now growing like crazy and in need of a larger pot. It sits in an east-facing window and gets direct sunlight at least several hours each day. Our humdity inside the house is typically very low (20% or less.) I'm a slacker on watering, so I always know kratom needs water when it starts to wilt. It's very obvious wilting, but it snaps back within minutes after getting some water.
