I dipped them and stuck them in rooting medium, now I'm wondering when to mist them and if it will rinse off the apple cider vinegar, so then I was thinking maybe I should mist the base with that mixture? Thank you!
I would not mist the plant with the vinegar, too much can prevent rooting. After putting the rootings in soil, you can water the cuttings then enclose them in a plastic bag or sheeting to create a greenhouse effect. Then you shouldn't need to mist.

I have 4 trees that have died don’t know what I’m doing wrong I have clay soil but amended it with compost and have been watering them should I give up trying to grow them or what
Make sure that you test your soil prior to planting. Any one of several factors could be off, including pH or nutrients.

My green giants have been topped and I worry they will not get taller
It will restrict upward growth, but topping about 20 percent from the top will promote branching. This will make for a slightly thicker specimen, later on.
Here is an article for more information on their, general, care:

Hi there, I am currently planting a few Arborvitae in my yard!! First house ever bought!! I put two in the back where they receive great sun. Putting two out front. All day sun. My question has to do with the soil. You guys said the soil needs a lot of aeration. The soil here looks great but also looks like it would become mud easily. I have perlite and/or vermiculite that I can add or just put alot of small rocks or pieces of terra cotta. I have tons of that. Please let me know what you think. Thank you, Nancy Minihane
That can help, but I would also add earthworms and compost. They will help break everything down and aerate the soil.
One more thing. I will remove it this time, but PLEASE DO NOT put your personal information out to the public.
