I’m the opposite, before I stopped growing 15 years ago, I hated growing from seed, and had close to 100% success rate with rooting cuttings. I wish I had a mature enough plant to show you a step by step. I make my cuts with 4-5 nodes. Remove the leaves at the bottom two nodes, leaving the top three. Peel the leaves down, try to peel the skin as you do, otherwise Scrape/shave the skin from the bottom portion. Exposing the tissue underneath allows more water absorption and gets the roots going sooner. Cut any larger leaves in half to reduce water loss. Soak the cuttings in cold water, use a liquid seaweed/kelp solution if you have any. Let them soak for about 30mins, dip in rooting powder/gel and insert into peat pellet (or coir pellet, I didn’t work with rock wool). The pellet should be moist enough to have some water dripping when you squeeze it, but not soggy. Put them under a humidity dome, mist lightly if they stay droop too much. But if it stays too wet, the cutting may take longer to root or just rot. I find that they root faster if you make them seek water vs babying them too much. I use to have roots poking out of the pellets within 5-7 days, then I plant them. The bottom leaves that are left may turn yellow or start to die off as the plant starts to grow roots, especially if you didn’t give the mother a good feeding the day before you took the cut.
