I've never used a fungicide with cuttings...

To avoid fungal infections with cuttings I think it's more about using a sterile soil than applying fungicide.

Read this article from Brent Walston, it may be helpful.

The leaves are drooping because the amount of moisture being supplied has been greatly reduced. You'll probably lose some leaves before things get better. Just be patient and don't drown the cutting. Good luck.

It's my first time trying to grow from a cutting.. but the book I was reading ("Pocket Bonsai" by David Prescott, Consultant Editor Colin Lewis) said to include some fungicide in the water... If fungicide doesn't help, won't hurt the plant, right?
