Osteos sometimes root if you lay them on the soil with something to pin them down to maintain contact. Im going to try a few rose cuttings using Lyn's method. I tend to prune my roses throughout the year so there'll be plenty of material. Do I use the softish, pliable stems or the ones that are beginning to get woody @Lyn ?
Can't access your link. Will try later. Was it the Asian chap? Did you see the one where the plants rooted quicker in tap water than in the chemical additives? @Ericaheather
No I didn't. I'll look out for it or if you can add a link that would be great. The link isnt a video its a site with (much needed!) Pictures of exactly where to cut on the plant and which plants you should cut certain sections for cuttings. Also which plants root quickly in water. Very helpful i thought. Going to try out coleus now.

Stiff woody ones, may be better waiting a while.

Ok I've had a little Google and this site seems to give good advice as to which part of the plant to cut and which plants root well in water. Is that cheating though?! 🤷♀️
Perhaps I need to try again??
