Help! Wilting cuttings!

Hello!
Rooting in a bag has been going well, then the further rooting in clay balls also went well and when the cuttings were well rooted, I put them in a potting soil mixture. All has been going well, the first cuttings have been in the soil for two weeks now.
But now some of them are starting to wilt! Yesterday I noticed some wilting and separated them because my husband suggested it might be caused to disease, but today some cuttings that have been in soil for two weeks and had been looking strong and healthy are wilting! They are all in a very bright room that gets a little east sun in the morning, but just warm and shady the rest of the day.
What can be the cause?
Help!

Any fungus gnats around? Over watering can kill new roots also.

Pix might help.

I have found that young tender stuff is very easily killed by over watering. Since I started putting my stuff in a very well draining soil mix (fafard 51) I haven't had further problems. Good luck.
