Barbara,
We just rooted a bunch of Cistus in the greenhouse. We did a batch in
February, and started a second batch a few weeks ago. They are rather easy.
We root in straight perlite, use Hormidin #1 (or was that Hormex?), and
bottom heat under mist. I would rather use a stronger hormone (#3 or #8),
but the #1 was all our greenhouse staff had at the time.
