If you look at the "Start Here" post, scroll down to "Growing Tips", click on that link and select, "Rooting" you'll read the essential info you need to make any method work. Then go back to the top of that page and click on, "New Alternative Method" and that's how I root all of my cuttings. If you use agricultural perlite #3 and rinse it to get all the dust out it works really well.
Good luck with your plants.
