Best way for me with rock wool, is soak in PHed water with 1ml/L h202.
Spin in salad spinner to get almost all of the water out. Poke a hole and stick it in. Give the RW about 2-4mil water. Keep in dome 80F.
When you get roots coming out then go to dirt. The dirt you are using may have something in it that may attack the cut. After it has healed and rooted it can handle some pathogens.
I cut narrow tall cubes out of a brick. The trick is keep sterility and not too wet. Water with a 1ml dropper.

i think putting it in something like a rapid rooter (peat) would give less problems in soil.

The soil has a tendency to dry out the rockwool, so monitoring is required at first IMO.
