Ok, can I put a dozen or so in the same bucket? Would any thing aid (within
the water) rooting, such as some diluted plant food?


Adding nutrients before roots are established promotes rot. Use
just plain water.

Better, root the cuttings in a mix of peat moss and sand. (See my
http://www.rossde.com/garden/garden_potting_mix.html, but omit
all nutrients.) Potting up cuttings rooted in water often injures
the roots.
