Rooting Azaleas

I don't know very much about Azaleas (can't eat em smoke 'em or drink
'em and the molecules in 'em are so ulgy you can tell they're poison
just by looking)
but I am wondering if your problems with cuttings are the same ones I
get, damping off of everything even with a hormone product with
fungicide (in fact I can't even find one without fungicide anymore). In
fact I am amazed to hear people talk about sealing cuttings in a
drycleaner bag for six weeks; mine would be rotted in six days no matter
how careful I am. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? It can't ALL
be due to a stuffy northern house in the winter, trying to keep the
heating bill down, can it?

I am wondering if everyone always makes sure to keep the branches shaded
and moist when they bend a branch over to root. Would it help to place,
maybe, a small board over where the part of the branch has been buried?

Good gardening!
