Norma, when i come to visit, no matter how much I beg, do NOT give me any
cuttings at this time of year.  Even if I fall to my KNEES. wait until real
spring.
let the cutting dry at the edge.
my best results come from using a steamy hot humid  growth chamber and
merely laying the cuttings on top of something like perlite. or it doesn't
matter. the will root in the air. next best is to use that bottom heat and
some airy mix like sharp sand and wood chips.  very intense growing
conditions, like the earth when it was young and steamy. I find that if a
cutting is going to begin to rot, it will do so during the period I am
drying and callusing the cutting.  the thicker the leaf, the longer this takes.

I mean it. no matter how hard I beg.
