Thanks Tiffany but I'm not sure if it's bravery or blissful ignorance Smiling

Laurie, I thought the same thing! I don't have the fish tank but I cut the bottom out of a cardboard box, so it formed a collar around the pots and I draped this with an old clear shower curtain and I didn't exactly go "airtight" because I cut a couple of slits in the shower curtain but I'm able to spray water whenever necessary so plants are always wet and I put this in "bright shade". I thought for sure heat would kill everything but as I know next to nothing about root propagation I defer to the experts...and wow! Too early for roots but only one plant has yellowing leaves...stem still quite green though...the rest look like rooted plants! (Thanks so much Jay!)

Now Laurie, when you say you rooted cuttings in your window's vase and they died, what is the difference between roots grown via Jay's method and the window vase method? I mean, assuming you took cuttings from yard plants and they had been acclimated to heat and outside conditions...was it that the roots were not as robust, or there weren't as many? I'm very new to this so I'm trying get a better understanding.
