you can buy flats with cells already filled with oasis, or a strip of
cells.

Yes it works, but i'm not convinced that it's great, as somethimes the
oasis dries out before the roots really get into the potting mix used
when doing the first transplant.  try mellinger's catalogue - they might
sell them.

if you want to try, keep them wet, not drowning in water, bottom heat is
nice too - y ou can even set up a wire heat cable -  you'll see roots
poking out when rooted
good luck,
