Default tomato cuttings?

Thanks. I'll try water soaking some cuttings in a deep jar, with
misting of the greenery on top. Actually, I'll put a plastic bag over
all of it to keep the humidity in. I still have some cuttings in soil
that haven't yet up and died, and I'll start misting those as well.

I saw a newsgroup post that claimed that cuttings rooted in water
ended up with a different kind of roots than cuttings rooted in soil,
and that those former kind of roots didn't take to soil as well. But
it sounds like you all succeeded.

By the way, I pulled one of the dead stems I had in soil, and there
were delicate, half inch long roots on the end of it! So maybe I
didn't miss by much.
