is there another way ? is there something i'm doing wrong.
Not quite sure; your other variables are:
-light
-temps
-photoperiod
-treatment of the cutting itself

That method can work if you get the variables all dialed in appropriate to each other. There is more than one way to skin a cat if you understand its anatomy, lol. Remember, the roots like oxygen, and mold prevention is very important. If you use perlite, I'd actually punch holes in the cup for oxygen penetration and then put the whole thing under a good sized dome.
