From your description, you're probably right. Whatever the medium, it must be damp and slightly warm, but never saturated or wet.
A sterile medium like rockwool, sterile plant contact surfaces (esp your hands & tools!) and sterile watering solutions put you miles ahead.

Thanks for the compliment.
Cloning isn't hard. Getting the conditions right is the tricky part. If you build a clonebox which presents consistent conditions, you'll get consistent results.
The little battery operated thermostat I added to the clonebox a while ago has made worlds of difference. Wasn't really needed in the last place the box lived but it's a bit cooler in its new location, which made for inconsistent rooting speed. The tstat keeps it bang on ideal temp at all times; you can set your watch by the rooting speed these days. Day 6, I'll see the first taproots poking out, every time.
