It has been found that there is no ideal rooting medium, but several combinations of materials can provide a good, workable medium with drainable pore space of 40% to 50%. Good quality peat and coarse perlite, or peat and ground pine bark on a 1:1 o 1:1.5 or 1:2 basis by volume works well in propagation containers approximately 3.5 to 4 inches deep.

Rooting a cutting is all about the energy, the energy in the cutting. I see one problem with your cutting, it has spent much of its energy producing those blooms.

Thank you, Silica! I thought the same about the blooms. I’ll give it a try and see what happens. Thanks again!
