They will root in a mistbed, but you need rooting hormone. Strip ALL the leaves off and cut off ALL the new growth.

thanks, I have rooting hormone but no mistbed.. do you think that covering it with plastic would work?

No harm in trying.

If you misted them with a hand sprayer, like a windex bottle, and then make a small tent with a large baggie, that would hold in the humidity. Maybe mist once a week. Don't let it sit in direct sun because of the greenhouse effect.

Thanks, I'll try... hope it works..

I use rooting powder, stick it in loose soil and keep in bright shade area, careful not to overwater. I'd say my success rate is 75 %

I've had good success with rooting plants by getting at least 3 leaf nodes in the soil and take cuttings from new growth, last years growth and hard wood. Each plant seems to root better from one of theses. Each plant is different.
