I’m using 5gal bucket with water and a powerful air pump with large air stone.
I made my cuts making sure i have 3+ nodes, dipped into fresh aloe and placed onto 5 gal cloner.
the leaves have all bent all the way down.
It has been less then 2 hours and leaves not improved.
i could use suggestions and tips please, thank you
Thank you for the feed back. You are all awesome!!

Hi there,
put a dome over your clones 
Good luck

In addition to keeping humdity high within the dome, patience is key. Your cutting is trying to adjust to its new environment and so will be stressed a bit. Are the ends in the water or what?

With this kind of cloner you usually have the clones just a bit over the waterline.
The idea is that the bursting air bubbles are moistening the stems.
Another way would be to use a small fountain pump to spray water from below onto the stems.

Usually the problem with clones is that we try to force the top and bottom to grow at the same time. If you lower the light considerably. Like say a 40 watt fluorescent bulb, so there is not an abundance of light keeps the leaves from growing to fast. Then keep the temp. reasonable and humidity high. That’s the real secret to cloning. Lower levels of light, and high humidity with moderate temps.
