I forgot to add for if you have a (Salix) willow tree around (making willow water doesn't hurt)
for making a Rooting hormone just fill a bucket add willow sticks ,and let soak for 3 days.
I tried the leaves , and mold grew, on top leaves
next time will tie down with a rock in (chesse) cloth/ sock or something for leaves.
(edit) Popular tree's (Salicaceae) will work
(so will alder/birch (Betulaceae I believe (but not a Salicaceae, but contain Salicin)
https://pfaf.org/user/otheruses.aspxI Did search the site for salicin too only (don't waste your time all willows , and poplars)
one other was black haw /nanny berries (which taste like hackberry) a Viburnum species has it listed there.)
willow Bark is also used for aspirin at a time may try plain aspirin one day for seeds/cuttings.
which contains (aspirin) salicin converts into aspirin in the body.
not for you, (but this is a forum)
I didn't forget but Also Large scale
(in aquarium placing dry sand on top helps with root maggots
Diatamonous earth (spelling ) helps with root maggots too just ground up fossilized sea shells
(do not breath (place shirt over face can cause very bad lung damage quickly
From personal experience it feels like a sharp pain for a day straight.
(not me someone (friend landlord) placed on a bed I slept in it hurts
day 2 of sleeping in it (WI.) Girlfriend at time (edit visited) made me buy bed cover
I didn't know I thought it was baby powder tasted sweet said she was over reacting)
Just adding that Because I know people do not take that stuff serious
( google Pneumoconiosis interstitial fibrosis)
that stuff can kill , place shirt over face ,
and do not use directly on bed for fleas roaches or what ever.
MODIFYING
(edit)(Long ago I learned the willow water idea from a now deleted yahoo group
maybe able to find good stuff at Organic Homesteading, and Gardening OHG
ran by backwater Jon of KY.
and for the aquarium Idea used for cutting have to give credit to Mike Mcgroarty newsletter
instead for cuttings He made scotched tape stripes half clear half tape to block light.)
(edit Link Below if anyone is interested no need wasting time looking., )
been doing that way for over 10 years (not the cutting seeds)
(and just looked online not easy to find anymore I could forward it on a email if anyone wants from him)
Never mind found in email (but for cutting with sand is what I thought he used )
http://www.freeplants.com/homemade-plant-propagation.htmOh, I read the link and I have baked soil in a Oven not a microwave like site says
but it was a large amount & had root maggots flies larva troubles )
(and I wouldn't do it again probably )
( but I have used good fresh forest dirt with a lot of beneficial bacteria too
under a pine tree I for paw paws is good (in my experience ) (oak leaf compost too.)
(sorry for late Modifying of message wanted it all in one place, so people didn't have to browse around)
Note for small seeds I'd be opening the bag, and placing a Fan on them every nightDo not want to to get leggy Tall, and skinny , and fall over
(I've weighed seeds down with weights rubber bands to stress them it works (somewhat)
I've read a lot of plants grow right before the sun goes up.
