Theo,

I use this simple method for a small amount of cuttings. I use a clay pot, seed starter mix (which is a mixture of peat and pumice) and a jar about the same diameter of the pot ai have chosen. After making the cutting, I dip the end in a rooting hormone
and push the cuttign into the seed starting medium. I tthouroughly wet the seed startr mix in the pot. Then I place the jar over the cuttings, creating a mini green house. Visualize the top of the jar closed in the illustration below. Keep soil medium
moist, but check for mold.
