Karen, the advice I got here trying to root an impossible austrailis (down to ONE node) was to try straight perlite, water with water mixed with a litte superthrive, and cover it to up the humidty. Worked like a charm, I had roots within a week and have new growth now, it has been about a month I guess.

Here is my new waymaniae, I can only hope it will grow up to look like Mel's - but right now, I see no resemblance....

Do the leaves get the curlier edges as they mature? The oldest leaf on mine has a tiny bit of burgundy coloring, but as you can see they are very green and I was wondering if the shape and color are right for young leaves, or for a young cutting.

Does anyone know how many types of waymanaie there are, besides this one and the round leafed version?
