Amanda, You are doing just fine.

Cuttings taken during the Spring and Summer growing season are the most easily rooted.

When I have branches knocked off I merely poke a hole in the garden soil , stick em in , water and let mother nature take her course. If the branches are too long I just snap them into smaller pieces.

By the time Fall cool-down rolls around I have an perfect little plant ready to be potted up and brought in for the winter, some are already bbudding and I get blooms in the house ............ Heavenly ♥

Fall cuttings are iffy to get started because they are already going into dormancy which is quite the opposite of Spring cuttings that have growth hormones coursing through their stems.

Good luck,
