I agree, I use simple Miracle-grow garden soil. I use a liquid rooting hormone that I dip the budstick into & then dip it in a power hormone & slide it into the soil. I get near 100% takes. The most important thing is to keep the soil warm & moist. I try to keep the soil between 70-75F when rooting.
Laaz could you tell us the brands of liquid and powder you use please?
