want to try to get some roots by that method of making a cut in the stem
and packing it with spagnum moss and wrapping in a polythene bag and
keeping moist until roots appear.

is there anything else i should specifically know about this technique?

also does anyone know where i can buy spagnum moss for this in north
London (u.k.) please?

You should be able to get dried moss from the garden centre
OR
You could use something else...........
-coconut fibre (from garden centres

-I reckon chopped up newspaper or something similar might work too?

It usually takes a while for roots to form, so be patient.
You need to keep the packing material moist.
