Rosemary From Cuttings! Water or Soil? Short or Long?

How long should rosemary cuttings be?
Short or long. The shorter ones give you more bang for your buck (or more cuttings per sprig of rosemary). 5cm+ or 2-3 inches is sufficient.
Are rosemary cuttings better in water or soil (potting mix)?
Cuttings placed in water germinate quickly and efficiently with little care. The only down side is that you may lose a few when transplanting them out into pots. Those started in potting mix or soil may undergo water stress and need to be either covered or in a controlled environment- See video for a simple solution.
Both methods are successful, in my opinion water is much easier to do if you don't have resources to control their climate.

You didn’t say how long the roots take to grow in water. I found 6 weeks

What type of cuttings should i use, soft stems, semi hardwood or harwood cuttings for water or soil propagation??

I've had my cuttings in water for over 2 months but they still have no roots:/

How is it going? The water cuttings shoot roots really quickly. It was starting to cool down in autumn when these were taken so even in cooler weather they took off.
