Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Baggie rooting method question, 0 by begoniacrazii

I have several hoya cuttings in large ziplock baggies. I followed the directions to rinse them out, shake all the water out. put the cutting in and blow it up. I refill with my own hot air (of which I have plenty LOL) each day. But nothing. No roots or anything. They still look fresh and healthy but I'm wondering on average, how long until roots appear, where should I expect the roots to emerge from and am I doing it right?

They have been in the baggies since about 11/17/05
varieties are:
h. polynura 'fishtail'
h. carnosa rubra
h. polystacha (which has lots of nubbies but they are at the wrong end!)
and h. meredethii (which I don't have in a baggie, but in a propagation tray filled with 100% perlite on a heated mat)

thanks hoya buddies!

P.S. I suppose I'm not a hoya virgin anymore. I did cheat a bit and this weekend bought a hoya coronaria? in bud/bloom! It's my first!
