I am using an insulated room with grow lights and a small humidity tent to get some mulberry and Kiwi cuttings going.  Seems to be a struggle for the mulberry.  
I wrapped all the scions with parafilm and shaved of the bark and used rooting hormone.  
I started everything out in the small humidity tent which is one of those small plastic greenhouses.  With a tub of water, pond fogger and humidistat and some grow lights
After a couple weeks I took them all out of the humidity tent and placed them under a stronger grow light. The Kiwi seems to be okay but the mulberry looked like it was struggling so I put it back in the tent.
I have been told the fuzzy Kiwi takes along time to root so when it gets warmer I will bring them outside to a small greenhouse with a misting bench.

How do other people grow mulberry and fuzzy Kiwi cuttings inside?

I have no experience propagating with rooting hormone. This guy seems to do ok without.



good luck
