ive had success with fig, papaya, mulberry, moringa and grape.
summers are humid here in New Orleans, maybe that makes a difference ?
i just put them in a plastic cup with a compost/sand/perlite mix
but, i also cover the top an inch deep with wood chips.
i put it in an area where it gets only early morning sun for an hour or 2
and water every 2 or 3 days when it starts to dry out.
with papaya, you have to use the top.
i tried leaf/stem cuttings and they never worked.
ive read they will fruit faster - and shorter when grown from cuttings.
every year i fight to try and grow them in early spring from seed,
so i can have fruit before it freezes... its almost not worth it...
i normally get a few at the end of fall
just before frost damages them so badly that they take 1/2 a year to come back.
this is my first from cutting
i think i will do this again in early spring
the other cutting in the pic is an Acerola cutting...
- it just died...
