on cloning , remember to cut off about a 1/2 inch of most of the fan leaves
why?
plant reacts to this wound by producing auxins
Now, scientists in the group of Professor Jiřà Friml from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) discovered that the hormone Auxin and pressure guide the plant's way of regenerating.
"It is incredibly fascinating how robust and flexible plant regeneration is, considering how static those organisms are," says Lukas Hoermayer, a leading scientist in this study.
To investigate wound healing, the scientists injured a thale cress root with a laser. They then tracked cells during regeneration with a microscope. The scientists found that the hormone Auxin, which is essential in plant growth and development, also plays a vital role in wound healing. It builds up in those cells directly touching the wound and facilitates the plant's response to injury.
When the scientists artificially changed the Auxin amounts, either no cells or too many cells responded to the wound. This uncoordinated process, sometimes even led to tumorous swelling of the root.

also , take the biggest clone possible
rapid rooters work great too , I punch a hole all the way through them and turn them upside down so they stand on their own
we also use heat mats in the winter 74-78 degrees
cloning gel or powder , either or
