I like Dip N Grow - it's a liquid that you can mix to different strengths. You can get it on Amazon or at some garden centers/greenhouse supply stores.

I use the powder type. I moisten the stick , dip it in powder and put it in perlite. and keep it moist. One can use a big cut soda bottle with vent holes cut in it, to keep it humid. I like to do this in the spring but try now. different plants like different time of the year, The perlite really does encourage root growth.

Thank you for the tips! I will try it out, and hopefully have better luck this time.

OH, be aware of the nodes if there are any . I always have 2 joints because many times the roots grow out of the joints. And I take most of the leaves off. I leave just a few small ones at the top. To many leaves drain the nutrients.
