My dad lives in New Orleans and brings clippings to me in Arizona all the time. I stick them in a glass of water for a month or so and is usually ready to plant because of the abundance of new roots.
Not sure if the lack of humidity has something to do or not but my plants usually don't make it more than a few months after that. I keep them in a pot indoors watering, misting and light fertilizer but seem to lose the plants eventually. I am in the process now of some new cuttings and they seem to be fine so far.
