Propagation of manzanita and ceanothus

Hi all. I was hoping someone could help me out. I've tried severaltimes to take cuttings of A. edmunsii and C. wheelerii sorry if misspelledand have had no luck. For each I've tried 4 inch stem tip nodalcuttings in a 50/50 mixture of peat and vermiculite with rootone and placedthem in a mini greenhouse under grow lights. My most recent attemptstarted 6 weeks ago but as usual the cuttings rotted.

Any information on what I'm doing wrong or how to improve my technique would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff</p>
