Hi Pamela,
to NGA
I think the cuttings are way too big. The plant has to live off stored energy until it roots. And then will have to form more roots to support that top before its a viable plant. Smaller segments usualy work better - a couple leaf nodes below water and a couple above water. Also, cut all the remaining leaves in half to limit loss of moisture. The cuttings from the center of the stem will branch at all the leaf nodes. Cuttings that include the stem tip will continue to grow upward without branching. Add a drop of Hydrogen Peroxide to the water - that helps oxygenate the water and aids in rooting. And when it does root, how are you getting it out of that narrow necked bottle?
I'm not sure what the 'wax method' is.
