Jay (Horntoad) gave perfect advice. I have tried various plants from my yard inside, just water in my window's cutting vase. I can usually get roots no problem, but it takes a while, and the moment I put them in dirt they waste no time dying. It was hard for me to believe you could seal a plant up in air tight containers and stick it outside, and let it be, that It would not be a puddle of oozy smooshy rot. Making a new plant from for the yard, is always so fun. Good luck.
