Default Rooting in a gel

Possibly because people realised that, to root cuttings, you don't need
gel or rooting hormones or anything else. All you need to do is do it at

I was wondering along the same line... the 60% success rate in gel sounds
pretty bad, depending on what was being rooted. I get nearly 100% on
several varieties of Fuschia stuck in "Pro-Mix" (soilless compost mix; not
even Innes secret formula #3.7a), as long as I don't forget to keep it
damp!
