    yes it will work. It will take a while (maybe 1-2 weeks) for it to root.

    Put em in the room under the lights, just farther away so as not to fry em, under the mother is good so they dont get blasted with light....i've done it and it does take longer to root but it'll work.... the only thing i would do is after about a week, change the water to fresh and u should be good....

    Try cover up the top of that cup to stop light penetrating down to where your roots will begin to form this should help them out a bit since roots dont like light

    I put them in the water with superthrive for two days in the dark so they stop trying to make leaves and they concentrate on growing roots and then put them in party cups with soil and use rooting hormone and put them in a fish tank with a light on 18/6 to keep the humidity up for two weeks until they have a nice root ball and then put them in bigger pots if your doing hydro it's diffrent

    nah m8 am growing the old fashioned way the cuttings av never done before i dont have no root solution the 3 cuttings are just in fresh water since i put the paper over the top no light can get in at the roots

    the thing about putting them in the dark wont that just kill them i mean any plant needs light even germination seedlings die if you forget about them been in the dark

    Na putting them in the dark for a few days won't harm the cutting at all the leaves won't even droop it just make the plant concentrate on growing roots but you must do this as soon as you take the cutting if you have then in the light already don't worry about it just look into some of that superthrive stuff it gives your plant a good start in life and will pay off in the end I use it in every water now
