Did u use rooting hormone or anything like that or did u just cut them off and throw them in soil?

No rooting hormone or chemicals. I just plucked them straight into the sand/compost mix.

I'm going to try it on some alicia anisopetala on my next day off. If it works I'll spread some cuttings around.

The soil must have been too moist. Make sure to use oxygenated water when rooting or the cutting will rot.(remember, leafs like CO2 and roots like O2) Using perlite, water, and a bubble stone would be optimal imo.
