Ok update, 2 starting to look a bit better, 2 look a bit ropey still and 2 are dead. I know someone is going to say about the clear cups but I black out the sides and leave bottom clear, as soon as I see the root at bottom I transplant, right or wrong??
Were they rooted before u potted them in the cups or were they fresh taken cuts?
Are u over watering? Let the soil dry out slightly between waterings,
Apart from the dead ones they don't look too bad,
Get them into bigger pots asap. What type of light do u have them under?

I wasn't going to take cuttings so was a bit under prepared, haven't watered them since putting them in cups straight from cut. Under cfls until i see rooting. Will get a proper prop as money's not a priority.
Think they just got a bit hot and I'm sure i left the lights on all night now.

Nice1- you're leaving that clear cup dome on them too long. start cracking the seal some after a few days, or poke hole in top. there's too much humidity in there. the leaves touching the sides are rotting and the heat/stale air can be an issue. at some point, early on, the cup dome isn't necessary as long as fans aren't hitting them and drying plant too much.

The cups have holes in top and i take the off a couple of times a day for about a hour, or if i see them drying out a bit, i was planning on doing this till i see roots. Do u think i should keep it off from now on and keep temps down and rh up for a while?

you want some heat to promote rooting, without baking plant above the soil/medium. the plant will tell you if you remove the dome too soon, sounds like u burp it frequently.
