There is a lot of info on cloning here a RIU. Temps should be between 68-78F Humidity should be high 90%+ for the first week. You should air them out once a day but keep them humid otherwise. Should take about 10day to show roots. Anywhere between 5 - 14 days to root.

Thanks Caz will search now

Whenever I've taken cuttings, (I've taken a fair few) I use a normal propergator, with an energy saver / or my envirolight on top, humidty's high, and it starts to condense.

I always get wilting, or the droopy cuttings that you state, but the next day, they tend to pick up.

Just under 2 weeks, I normally get signs of roots, however we don't really know the media you're using, the size of pot if applicable, & whether you've used any rooting hormone.

i,ve put the cuttings in seed/cutting soil and used a rooting gel then i put them into 3inch pots i did prop the cuttings up with small sticks to try help the leaves point up to the light
