Well I always failed making clones and had envy from you guys with your constant success 
, so tried a different approach.
I’ve got a seed starter with sponge-corks and water I use for germinating. I made a hole across the cork, dipped a straw in Clonex, put the clone inside straw and then the cork and finally pulled out the straw:
and even if they look fragile they all rooted:
so its a mix of Clonex and water but without mixing them, as it has been wisely said. Hope you will have success with yours, mine’s were an experiment and as I wasn’t expecting to succeed they are now in window shelves …
