Honestly, I recommend putting the cuttings in water until they sprout some roots. Just make sure to let them callous first. Once you see some roots forming, you can transfer them to soil. Just keep in mind that roots generated in water are different from those that grow in soil, so it might take a little longer to establish in the soil afterwards.

PlantFanatic42: Good point! I tend to forget that. Thanks for the tip!

LittleSprout76: I think I'll try water propagation for the smaller cuttings! Seems like a good idea!
