Propagating oleander from cuttings - why aren't roots growing yet?

I am trying to propagate oleander from cuttings, but after a week no roots are visible. I used the newest growth on the plants and cut the leaves short. The cuttings are in water and the lowest sets of leaves were removed so that the nodes are in the water. They have been kept indoors in a spot that gets some indirect light. Should I have roots growing already? Also, is there a better way of doing this?

Answer:

Vermiculite Fireplace
Use the vermiculite. It's safe as long as it's in a solid state. It's when it get air born (from cutting with a saw, sanding etc.) that it becomes a problem.
Please do NOT believe all you read on the internet! Vermiculite is vermiculite. Asbestos is asbestos. Both are totally safe, used properly.
