Cloning is very weird. The first 25 clones I cut all withered and died, then I finally got one to root. Once I had it figured out, I've rooted probably 500 clones with around >95% success, and I'm honestly not sure what exactly I changed about my strategy 
Just do what Magash said, trim the leaves, make sure they always have high humidity and plenty of moisture plus some light (I've rooted under T5, CFL or HPS).
If you really wanna cheat just buy (or build) an aerocloner. It's almost a joke how easy those are.

No, you'll want to buy neoprene inserts so that you can have the bare stem hanging in the mist. Should be nothing in there but pH'd water and Cloning hormones (roottech or Clonex work the best in my experience).

the man said:
no those aero gardens are so much money and i dont think there designed to be able to remove plants once rooted. dont over think it
soak rockwool over night in water with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. trim leaves like said. hard to do first time but doesnt take much leaves to grow. keep humid do not let them sit in still water. cut at angle with a RAZOR (sharp is very key)on decently woody side branches put in water with a few drops of peroxide then dip in your rooting hormone a couple times a cm and a half deep, insert to rockwool. Mist them a couple times a day again with a few drops of peroxide per 800 ml of water
a) she already has it. Price is obviously not a concern at this point.
b) the holes are the exact same size as an aerocloner, so removing rooted clones will be exactly the same.
I'd say try some in each, see what works best

For Pandor I wanted to clarify briefly what we mean when we say trim the leaves. Here are some before and after shots I took a year and a half ago when cloning in rockwool.
 
Had roots poking through the cube on that girl in just around a week flat.

No problem, I had a feeling that might be just the ticket for you 
Just pull out the neoprene insert with the plant still in it, and then carefully open up the slit in the neoprene disc and slide the plant out. It'll take you a couple tries to get the hang of this (I had a hard time with my first 3 or so) but once you get the motion down it's extremely easy.
As for planting them, just basically plant them like you would do a transplant. Fill your pot up with coco most of the way so that when you set the clone in it sticks up as high out of the pot as you want it. Hold the stem to keep the plant upright and centered with one hand while you use the other hand to fill in the rest of the pot so that the new clone roots are buried. I usually water them right then with full strength nutrients (in coco or hempy's) plus a little superthrive and about 2-3ml/gallon of Roots Excelurator.
