Tomato Cuttings Propogation

I have had horrible luck with my tomato root stimulator cuttings.
I get less than half of them to survive. I make a 4 inch cutting
from the live plants I want to propogate(Ugly Tomato) and dip the
wetted cut end in the rootone powder and shove it into a 4 inch pot
with potting soil in it. I keep it moist for 2 weeks and look for
growth, but usually there is no growth and no roots when I pull it out
and throw it in the trash.
Any suggestions.
Make sure you keep them moist and use STERILIZED soil or a clean sand and
vermiculite or peat moss mix. Regular soil is full of bacteria and fungi.
They'd probably be more inclined to rot than root.
