Phlox subulata Propagation

The hard part about this post is I'm not exactly sure why this time I succeeded while my other attempts with this plant have always failed. I didn't even keep notes of how I did it. I know I took the cuttings after flowering, dipped them in rooting hormone and potted them all together in a deep pot full of very sandy soil. I put it in a bag, stuck it on my plant table under lights and ignored it for a while. Months later the cuttings are sprouting and quite happy.

The cuttings are from the candy stripe variety, as that's my favorite type, though I very rarely like striped flowers.
