Kristi,

Humidity is very important for propagating by leaves especially INDOORS!!!! If you don't have a clear lid, then use Saran wrap. You can use a baggie if you like. Misting isn't going to get it unless you have a misting system (that sprays every so many minutes). You can buy the seed trays with lids at Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. although a high top lid is better if and when the little plantlets start coming up.

Here is a picture back in late September. Note the humidity build up. I used lasagna disposable pans with included plastic lids. The 3 leaves are 'Mikado'. You would still be better off with rhizomes to begin with.
