Rooting cutting in November

Propagation unit I worked in used to take cuttings into trays of perlite (in fact, as well as the conventional seed tray types we also had soil-heating cable in long benches of pure perlite that we just "dibbed" cuttings into direct. The perlite was mounded into a ridge, on top of a steam-pipe, and covered with a tarpaulin, for sterilisation between batches.

I only remember using it for Gypsohpilla but maybe it was used for other species; I expect it was a mist bench, and I vaguely remember having thin netting too - but that may have been to keep the sun off in the summer though ; my recollection is that 100% took (clearly can't have been, but must have been close to that or I would remember that we had proportion of failures).

Sorry, its getting to be nearly 40 years ago! and no digital photos from back then
