I usually start my cuttings in a pot (about a dozen to a pot) and

wait
till I have roots through the bottom before gently separating and
potting up. I wouldn't say I had a good rate in striking cuttings,

but I
have no problems at all in keeping them going once they have rooted.


Do you use sand, sand/peat, sand/potting compost or potting compost
for rooting them in the first place?

I usually use New Horizon peat free potting compost, so they're getting
nutrient from that, but I've never felt it has much in the way of
nutrients. I don't make any claims for it being a good rooting medium,
but it's what I have around.
