I think I see where I went wrong. Nearly all say to go low on the plant. All mine were from the top. I had cut them at a 45 angle, put into rooting powder, put into peat pellets then into a humidity dome. I'd mist them every other day or so depending on how much condensation was collecting on the hood of the dome.
I'm gonna try the RedTails approach and see how things swing. My mother plant is needing some pruning anyway.

Yes I've read Jorge's books and watched lots of video's, but I still hosed it. Maybe I just suck.
