what are you doing for light? I have great success soaking leaf
cuttings in a superthrive solution of 10 drops per quart for 1 minute.
Then I place them in petri dishes, under 12-14 hrs of artificial light,
floating in water. Live sphagnum also works. I have much more hit or
miss luck in a greenhouse or outside - they seem to like the more
regulated environment inside. Hope this helps.
Take care,
