what should be done after taking root cuttings?
lay them on top of the soil or lay em on top of soil and cover with soil?

depends on the spcs. but the easier ones like Capensis can be covered if you want. If you want the largest plants, plant the roots vertically so that the top is slightly buried below the surface.

my bottle says 2 Tablespoons per gallon, but it might be different for other brands.
