Thanks for the reply, i placed them in a glass of water for about 10 mins then made the diagonal cut and just stuck them in some soil, i then cut a drinks bottle in half with a few holes in it to keep the humidity up, i have placed them under a grolux fluorescent, will they wilt when they have died the smaller "clone" seems to be raising it's leaves up slightly towards the light and although it has only been around half a day seems ok, the larger one seems to be contorting itself though twisting around but is not that droopy, how long will it be before i know if it has worked.
cheers
