Tasmanian Christmas Bush

| Two years ago I took cuttings of Tasmanian Christmas Bush (Prosanthera lasianthos) which grows wild on a neighbour's property. They seemed to do well - new leaves developed etc. Then after between 6 and 18 months the leaves suddenly became brown and the cuttings died. All of the dead cuttings had very well developed root systems. Lack of water was very unlikely to be the problem. Any ideas as to how to raise this attractive plant to a transplantable stage?
