Anyone remember that post/thread (2013 or older) with tips
he had a picture which demonstrated using a hollow cup to keep most of the perlite around the rooted cutting to increase drainage and aeration

it looked similar to below, i tried searching for it but still cant find it
can anyone link it to me? thanks

found it anyone try this before?

I dont know about this post being a newb around here. However, I successfully rooted 6 cuttings using 100% perlite. You dont need to fuss with a hollow cup. Just throw those bad boys in a perlite-filled contained with moisture and boom.
