Mulch!  Great stuff.  You probably should have an inch or so layer of mulch 
around the cutting to keep it from drying out.  Remember it had a lot of 
moisture while under that glass.  Don't let the mulch touch the stem as 
that will rot it Straw can be used, or newspaper covered with ??? anything, 
either will keep it moist.
