Hey there! Im pretty new at this as well but here's what works for me in my climate, just the basics;
Take the fresh cutting, wet cut end and dip in rooting hormone. Wet soil or medium before planting so as not remove hormone. Plant cuttings and place in an inverted zip lock freezer back in a shady spot outside for 2 weeks, misting if it starts to look dry. After 2 weeks heavy mist and replace for one more week in a bit more sun. Seems to be working for me so far. Keep shaded until well rooted. Good luck!
