Tyler, the time it takes will vary depending upon your season, your location, and the vigor of your cuttings. To offer you the widest window with the greatest confidence, I'd say between 2 weeks and 4 months. This is a great time of year to start cuttings, as long as you have semi-decent light to offer them. I stuck some Jade cuttings in a pot yesterday, and I'll be disappointed if they haven't rooted in a month. Good luck! Josh

Thanks for the info. I noticed the end of the cutting is rather dry and not much is happening there. The sprout occurred about 1" above the soil, and there is still 2" below the soil of cutting. Above the growth the stem seems to be dead/dying, which is probably why the growth occurred where it did. Is my cutting too deep, or too "long"? I noticed a small amount of fuzzy mold on the stem, so I removed the plastic covering to air it out, perhaps I don't need it anymore as long as I keep it misted periodically. Thanks for the help, as a newb to plants in general, I really appreciate the advice.

Willow water helps plants root because willow naturally roots very easily. This was trimmed a few weeks ago. Willow trimmings in willow water for a few weeks. Next, I put them in a pot and kept the cuttings moist for weeks (Watering once daily and/or misting them a few times a day) New growth on nearly every one. Willow water is a naturally occurring organic rooting hormone made by extracting the active element that causes willow to root easily into the water. Water your plants with this to increase likelihood of rooting. Refrigerate if you aren't going to use immediately. It isn't a fail safe 100% method for rooting difficult cuttings, but it can increase the odds and it doesn't have to rely on man made chemical to do so. I have not used this method for citrus cuttings, but I personally think it will help. I put cuttings in a zip up bag with a very small amount of willow water (too much will cause rot). I hang the bag up in a window that gets some sun, changing the water every week or so. When the cuttings either have white spots/roots or the bottom of the bark is swelling, I plant them in a pot buds facing up. I have tons of willows in my area if you need some materials, message me!

Fantastic Popmama! Before you know it you're going to have to cut it back and share some nodes with all of us! It's going to really take off now that the roots have fulfilled their purpose and filled the pot. All the growth will be on top now! Congratulations on a job well done - Now - don't look at it, don't touch it, never mention it again in conversation, don't dream of it and don't even think of it! (Those are the instructions I use for my curtisii). BTW - maybe a shot or two of fertilizer would be in order now. 1/2 to 1/4 strength until it starts to mature. I've found using Dynagro on mine, once they leaf out, seems to help a lot. Good luck my friend and all the best always....
