You can use soil. Do it just like you were using perlite/vermiculite. The only difference is you are using soil for your medium.

This Is The Rooting Compound I Will Be Using It Is A Cloning Gel

I use soil. I have 100% success using it. I cut the branch I want to use. Cut the bottom at a 45* angle. I then scrap about an inch of the bottom sides of the branch. Just to expose some of the tissues. Then slice done the center of the stem. Then dip in water. Then dip into my rooting hormon. I use rootone(it's a powder). Then stick into the soil and gently press the soil around the clone's stem. I use a spay bottle to mist them several times a day while keeping them in a humidity dome for about 4-5 days. The remove the dome. If they start to show signs of drooping then I know it's not time to remove them from the humidity dome. I have not lost one yet doing it like this. Most show roots in about 5-7 days. Sometimes a bit longer. I would say the longest I went befor seeing roots was aboiut 9 or 10 days. I use those trays that have 6 1"x2" square pots. You get them from any green house that sells flowers. I just happen to save them so I have them on hand and use them for this. Easy to move 6 clones at ojne time and easy to see when they have roots coming out the bottom of the pots.Anyways good luck with it. The first time I did it I was pretty nervos about doing it, but now it's like nothing for me to do it. I make clones of all other flowers I have in the garden as well. Just for shits and giggles. LOL.

Also when taking clones I never put them into direct light. I usualy put them in a back corner of my grow room so they don't get alot of light on them. I have also put them on a window ceil that doesn't get direct sun light. Just make sure your not blasting them with full light. You will kill them.

Good Lookin Sounds Good But Do Think Your Method Well Work On Mine I Mean The Whole Scraping Of Some Of The Tissue And Cuttin The Stem Down Da Center I Mean Cuz You R Using A Powder And Im Using A Gel?
