Ok, I've read the FAQ's and searched, time to ask my question. I seem to be following the steps for cloning correctly, but am having limited success. I took 5 clones the first time, and had one survive, and took 9 this last time and only had one survive. I am clipping a growing shoot below the 2nd set of leaves, then putting the cut stalk under water and cut it again at a 45 degree angle. I dip the stalk in a rooting hormone, and put it in a medium (kinda like rockwool, don't remember the brand) where the hole has some more rooting hormone. I then lightly water them and put them under 2 45 watt flourescent grow lights for 22/2. Temperatures are around 78 degrees, and there is moderate to light air circulation. I keep a bowl of water in the chamber to assist with keeping the humidity high as I don't have a dome. Any ideas why my success rate is 2 in 14?
