Hi 1930dodge,

I take cuttings from zinnias occasionally, and I keep them under a humidity dome until they develop roots that can absorb water. That can take 10 to 14 days for zinnias. I do root them in a sterile rooting medium (in my case Premier ProMix, but any sterile medium like Perlite or Vermiculite should work). It\'s possible that your \"decent soil\" contains some bacteria that are attacking your cuttings through their open wound.
