I just leave them on a shelf, so room temperature, there are many layers of newspapers and three additional plastic bags, so no light gets in. I only used stems, no leaves at all, and the root side also get some bark removed to get more exposure.
I just opened the packages up to check for progress and applied a bit more water to the newspaper. Now at 10 days, all rose stems have swelling, as well as blueberries, likely they will be ready for potting in a week. This is a very simple and effective way of propagation after several years of me trying other ways. I learned this from a youtube post from a professional nursery guy.
The bay stems showed no change, but stay green. I think they will root this way but slower than other stems.
Sorry for off topic a bit.
