propagating cuttings - Which medium has produced your best results?

[shushkin!]

I find my cutting propagation results are variable and wondered what others experiences have been? We can learn so much from each other.

Water!! I start most of my cuttings in a glass/bucket of water

LOL!

My best results so far have been with jiffys and root riots

I put cuttings into John Innes seed compost, and enclose in a poly bag. Some things, like roses and other shrubs I just shove into the garden in a shady spot (which is most of my garden anyway LOL).

I'm too rough handed rooting them in water - they root fine, then I damage the roots potting them up and they usually keel over and die.

John Innes seed compost for me. It depends on what I'm rooting whether I mix in extra sand. Then into an unheated propogator for most things.
