8i have horticultural grit, peopl keep mentioning vermiculite, and i just read how to take cutting from clematis using perlite, what's the difference? does it matter which you use?
Very successful, but you do need to move the cuttings out as soon as they are rooted. I pot them up into a very gritty compost (peat free plus 50% crushed ceramic material). Don't forget though that I only propagate rock garden plants from cuttings.

Not in the least, use which ever is successful for you. I do cuttings in pure sharp sand,no perlite, vermiculite or compost at all. Works for me.
I use grit but I do use a bit of compost mixed in with it for cuttings.
I might try that Berghill!
Wowberghill,just sand? Must try, is it successful?
