Coffee cuttings - rooting

Hey everyone
 
I'm attempting to get these arabica coffee cuttings to root but no luck so far. It's been just over 7 weeks - i pulled a few cuttings just to check, there is a bulge on the bottom but no roots. The cuttings are pushing out new leaves (the smaller leaves are all new, they weren't there when first planted), so it looks alive and well. My plan is to leave it there for another month or so, unless anyone has any suggestions?
 
The rooting hormone was used at the start, the temp and the humidity are both stable, diffused sunlight, etc. From what Ive been reading it should take approx 4-6 weeks, so not sure whether I'm doing something wrong.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
 
Edit: Woohoo I shouldn't make anymore posts, this is awesome -->

Maybe too wet ?? I had a nice bushy one but died when it got hit by a bit of cold, hope they have them in the store again this year.
 
 
Hey yeah not sure, from what I read and saw they have to stay well watered during that time. Like people cover them with plastic etc to keep the humidity up etc.
 
Its a pain because the search term "coffee" is a bit munted because so many people search for "coffee grounds" when it's anything to do with growing, so most results I get are about using coffee grounds lol.

The night when it dropped to +5c was too low for it, apparently below +18c does not male it a happy plant.
In the second article they say you can use green beans, got lots so will try and grow some that way.
