Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Cutting not getting any roots??? Help!, 1 by kdkral

I have an Aztec Gold that I bought of e-bay. The cutting was a bit green but otherwise looked okay. I potted using the pea gravel method and the stem near the pea gravel shrunk and hardened off. It is not soft and the part of the plant below the gravel looks okay. The tip of this plant looks healthy and I see small formations of leaves. Do I have a problem? Or should I just let the cutting grow? Other cuttings under the same Arizona sun look fine and did not exhibit this shrinking.
