I use my finger to create holes in the mix. My cuttings are no longer than 4-6" making sure I have at least two nodes that will go in the mix. I wet the cuttings, dip in root hormone (still using the small container DH got me for my b-day two years ago) and place cutting in the holes and plant. Cover with the top. Place in a shaded spot. DO NOT place in direct sun, as it will bake the cuttings. The peppers took about 3 weeks. Coleus can be done in this method with out the hormone and have a viable plant in less than 2 weeks.

See pic with roots on side. This is a cuphea (very successful at propogation with this method)

I have also propogated brugs, ficus trees and lots of perennials in this same method.
