You'll have better success if you spell it pomegranate
Take a six to eight inch cutting a bit narrower than a pencil. Remove the growth tip. Get the bottom two inches wet and lightly dust it with "Rootone" or another multi-hormone rooting compound. Put it in an 8-10 oz cup with holes punched in the bottom or a similar size Jiffy pot -- sold next to seeds in nurseries. Use commercial
cactus mix or Jiffy seed starting mix for a rooting medium. Before you insert the cutting, make sure the medium is wet and use a plastic pen or similiar to make a 2.5 inch deep hole to place it in. Firm the soil around it. Put the cup in a rooting chamber, like Joe has been discussing here:
Cheap rooting chamber.
