Question
You say to put the cutting in a damp, but not soggy soiless mix, what is a soiless mix?

Answer
Hi Darline,
Thanx for your question.  A potting medium that contains peat, usually perlite or vermiculite, and, sometimes fertilizer, but no soil.  It is sterile and clean, free of bacteria and fungi and used for plant propagation.

Dave's Garden has several different recipes you can make yourself.
Here's a link.

I hope this helps.
