    1. propagator and a light ( t5 or cfl )
    2.  scissors
    3.  small cup
    4. small glass or pot to put rooting gel in
    5.  jiffy's
    6. plastic container to put the jiffys in to soak
    7. clonex
    8. 2mm thick wire or cocktail stick
    9.some Luke warm water tap water or bottle water

    1.take the jiffys and soak them for a few minutes

    2. pour some clonex in the small glass or pot so its a good 1" deep
     
    3 after a few minutes the jiffy's will get to about 2" thick and you need to take then out the water and put them in the propagator next to the clonex, I have marked the tray so I know what cutting will be taken from each plant

    4. use some wire or wire or cocktail stick to make a hole 3/4 of the depth of the jiffy

    5. fill the cup up with water
     
    taking the cutting
     
    6 . you need to select part of the plant to take the  cutting from. it needs to be about 3-4" long, a few fan leaves and the stem needs to be 1/4" thick or more, green and healthy

    you have now taking the cutting and need to put it in the cup of water
    repeat this till you have all the cutting you want
     
    take all the green leaves off the bottom of the cutting and cut the stem at a 45% angle
    place in the clonex  and push the cutting gentle into the jiffy and push the sides down to hole the clone in place
     
    cut any larger fan leaves in half so you don't pull the clone over

    open the propagator every day to give the clone fresh air
    and water the clones when the jiffys start to dry out

    you want to keep the humidity high around 80-90 for first week and then start dropping the humidity
     

    and in about 14- 21 days you should have rooted clones
