I've never rooted cuttings in water.  I take a cutting, dip it in water for a few seconds, dip it in rooting hormone, then plant it at least 1 node deep in potting soil + perlite.  Had 100% success rate rooting this way.  Usually can see roots (I use transparent plastic cups so I can see progress) within 2 weeks.

One thing I learned recently is the danger of over-fertilizing young cuttings.  I had 8 cuttings that were rooted that I transplanted to bigger pots with what turned out to be too much fertilizer.  Lost all but 2 before I figured out what was going on.

hahahaha you da man tdmm lol thats the EXACT way i cultivate mine also dude aswell i am striking 100% succsess rate and have never failed not even once

when i first got my sally's i tried out first using the water tek and failed miserably on numerous occasions whit the results of rotting stem/leaf ect and yes cleaned the water when needed but still no good

so my advise as to anyone trying to do the same is get a big plastic storage container drill holes for drainage on bottom and on top (lid) for breathing for the cuttings and nice top soil mixed 50/50 with perlite and keep the soil moist at all times with regular misting's (i mist around 3 times a day depending on the heat ect

just as tdmm said some rooting hormone will help alot but it can be done without rooting formula's   

i will post a pic shortly

There's also another guide specifically on rooting plant cuttings in my journal. 

Water does work but seems to cause rot more easily than other mediums that offer more oxygen in the mix.

I got these luvlys in the post today

They were 10 days in the mail, their only alive because their good cuttings and they were  packed really well.

Really happy I am





   

Keeping them in a tub in a shade house, have since added some pearlite in the base of the tub.



 

This one is perfect, 100% sweet




     

This one has experienced slight difficulty in transit.
Roots are growing from the base of the branches which is why I have laid it down.




I so hope they grow big and strong and become an acclimatised weed in my shadehouse

Your setup is looking good. High humidity is important for the first time.

Give them some time and they will definitely grow like weed

Good luck

Rightio will do.......... Spooky




Their looking like they are recovering from their 3000km travel ordeal.

Much greener and fresher looking 24 hours later.

I have backed off on the misting as the weather is very humid here today and we certainly dont want any rot.

I like Salvia plantz

Planning on building my Sally collection
