PS the trick is to start with a well hydrated cutting and then to keep that cutting from drying out before it gets some roots to get a drink. That is why people put them in humidity chambers. If I am afraid of that I use a plastic bag. Here where I live it is not that hot so I can usually get away without bagging them. I do like to bag them at times though because then I do not have to even look at them for 6 weeks or even longer for they stay well hydrated in the bag.

Here is one I forgot to take out of the bag. It loved all the humidity.
