Theo,

I'm not sure what you used for the "heat controlled box" that you mentioned
in your post, but if people don't want to "build their own," one of the
temperature-control mats that many veggie catalogs sell for seed starting
might work well.

This year for the first time I had some pretty
spectacular results with rooting cuttings.

Almost 80% success rate.

Now for a person who was happy with
10-15% success rates this qualifies for
as spectacular.

The key ingredient discovered -
drum roll - even high tempreture.

I kept all my cuttings in a heat controlled
box near my drier @ 85-90F constant with
grow lights. rooting was rapid 3 weeks in most
cases.

Just thought I'd share this tidbit 'cos I've
never seen it mentioned as such a crucial
factor.
