Attempt number 2...

Took some more cuttings a little over an hour ago. Took a piece of kitchen towel soaked and placed in a freezer bag as I saw mentioned somewhere. Luckily it had rained today, so the leaves were a little more perky today.

Got 3 cuttings, different sizes and from different parts of the bush and got them into the bag with the bottoms wrapped in the kitchen towel.

Arrived home, washed them to ensure no bugs. Prepared the pot: little bit of large akadama in the bottom to aid drainage and improve airing followed by filling the rest with Cutting and Sowing compost.

Stripped a bit of bark from each, dipped in water, dipped in the hormone powder and put into the soil. Misted them in with the finest spray on a pressurised water bottle and then stuck the pot ontop of a piece of kitchen towl in a warm spot which gets lots of light, but not direct sun and is quite warm.

Stuck a CD spindle lid ontop balanced on 5p pieces to allow air in so the thing can breath and hopefully avoid Fungus or mold build up.

Hopefully better results this time.
