Let me know how this goes!

Elaborate what are you doing? I have a ๐Ÿ‹ tree so I can try the same

Trying to root some cuttings. I have never tried it before so no advice to offer.

Let me know was well. I tried to prpogate some cuttings from my lemon tree which I had to leave behind when I moved last year. They all died. But I tried in soil in pots.

Interesting. Is this a approach particular to citrus? 2-4 nodes under moist soil has always worked for me but I've never dealt with citrus. Also I've always used a common rooting powder with willow bark extract but I'm not sure if it actually makes a difference.

No clue. Making it up as I go. You can just try stuff

Only leave 1/2 leaves, you can even cut them in half. Less water will transpire from the plant. Put in shade, you could try a humidity dome as well if you are in a dry area.

If you are able to do a flood and drain system, even better.

Iโ€™m not sure if those plants root easily, mulberry, elderberry, sweet potato, mint would be some good ones to start with - give you some success.

The internets say that my key lime tree should be easy to propertate. I have some spearmint I can do too but that stuff spreads like a weed
