Rooting hormone isn't believed to help, mostly because the core from which the roots form don't get reached by the hormone since it's surrounded by the flesh material. I sometimes have problems like that if the cuttings are a bit immature but I think every cutting I've tried to root has been successful (maybe 75 cuttings +/-). It's best not to water them very much and to avoid direct sunlight until they are growing. A warm humid greenhouse is helpful. Good luck!
