I hope it makes some real roots for u, I have had a airlayered carambola branches make a huge callous and little nubs looking like root starts but they never turned into roots. Jackfruit is a totally different species thought ....
I have doubts about rooting into water. The roots that develop are different, much more brittle than those produced in a harder medium. Roots developed in a medium like sand, for instance, have an easier time adapting to soil.Peter
I also have doubts if a rooted jackfruit cutting will be able to survive, develop and adequately sustain and support the tree.
I think that it should be the same as air layered Jackfruits.No tap root but for pots having no tap root is an advantage.I'll updates this post with the results. No the cuttings are in sphagnum moss, so cannot see the roots, but I'll see if new leaves will grow.

Yes, I think people are not trying from cuttings or air layers because others are saying it won't work well,but everyone should experiment and see what works best.For example, mulberry do great from cuttings, Jackfruit is also related to mulberry, so maybe it can also do great when grown from a cutting.
