keep moist, not wet and don't let it dry out.

What are the chances of success? What better diameter cuttings? Long stalk? With leaves or without leaves?

not a lot of them take, root cuttings work best for breadfruit. Dont know about durio.

Don't think it's possible with durian. With some artocarpus it will be possible, like jackfruit. Note that if cuttings are subjected to freezing temperatures in route to Russia they will be dead.

"In Florida cuttings of young jackfruit wood have been rooted under mist. At Calcutta University, cuttings have been successfully rooted only with forced and etiolated shoots treated with indole butyric acid (preferably at 5,000 mg/l) and kept under mist."
