Step 3:

Actually I prefer those pop-up Jiffy pots because when success happens you can see the roots but I also use plain old peat pots when I am out of Jiffy Pots or I cannot find them (that being the case in these photos)

When using peat pots, I moisten slightly a mixture of half sand and half peat. Sand can be replaced by vermiculite.

I moisten the peat pots and put in the sand/peat and make a whole for the cutting. When I put the cutting in, I try not to wipe it on the soil, rather pack it around so that the rooting hormone doesn't scrape away.
