tiG - I've found that they root really easily in sand, or sand mixed with peat. I first did them in the pop bottle with lower heat. Then I just did them in the sand no heat. I don't think they need the heat - you probably have it anyway.

You can also easily root them in reg potting soil too. They are pretty easy.

Tig - had to tell you before I forget - the little red Albutilon cutting you gave me has a couple of tiny green spots coming where the leaves should come - I hope yours are doing well too! Thanks again

I like using vermiculite to root abutilon cuttings.
