I did a lot of research on cloning and tried a few different ways but i found one that works the best it is a bubbler system. I bought a small rubber maid tote and found a plastic dome that roughly fit it, bought an aquarium air pump and 3 or four inch long air stone and air line and used 6.8 phd water with just a tabllspoon of hydrogen peroxide at 3% and bought some wet floral foam, and it was time to set it up i drilled 12 3/4 inch wholes spaced evenly around the perimeter of the lid. and drilled one whole that was just big enough for the air line to fit through, use a marker and mark each whole with a number or letter . then i carved some floral foam plugs to fit the 3/4 inch holes and poked a whole through them with a paper clip or tooth pick what ever fits your cuttings.fill the rubber maid container with tap water that has been sitting in a open container for atleast 24 hours so it gets a chance to warm to room temperature and the clorine has a chance to evaporate from the water.the floral foam plugs where cut one inch long so they can sit in atleast 1/4 inch of water. then you just do your cuttings one at a time cut from plant as close to stem as possible using sterilized knife or scissors for each cut place in water right away make a 45 degree cut under water dip in root stimulator and place in floral plug that was already carved and make sure your air pump is in the water and turned on.when your done your cuttings get your humidity dome and spay the inside of your dome and the tops of your cuttings, i used a 4" florescent light with the lights about 2 feet away from the top of the dome. then i just spared the inside of the dome when the moisture was evaporatingmaybe a couple times a day. depends how tight your dome is. the cuttings where all rooted with in 1 to 2 weeks.
i also trimmed of any dead or dieing leafs as they appeared it helped them to grow roots and stay strong, another tip is to use a weak seaweed spray on them once a week for foliar feeding. and i almost forgot change the water once a week .good luck to all who try this i found it to work great.:rastasmoke:
