Rooting ideas

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I posted. I wanted to post this burning ?

Last year I tried a couple rooting techniques, primarily Dan's improved Baggie method. While I had great success getting initials, I lost every cutting after that point; either in the cup w perlite promix or after potting up. Some even had good growth but died. Most seemed to get mold growth and I'm concerned there may be high mold spore levels in my house because all of my windows have it around the edges. I lost more than 50 cuttings.

Keeping in mind I live in cold upstate ny, can you guys share some ideas of methods I could try w cuttings that maybe don't require them to be in the house and that require less maintenance than the aforementioned? Like I read about the burying upside down trick and thought maybe I could try that in my attached garage in big pots or outside but covered w a rose cone. Thanks in advance!

Timothy
