Default Re: What tropical fruits can I root cuttings of?

Regarding citrus cuttings: I was able to get some lime tree cutting to root with the help of an EZ Cloner. This is an areoponics chamber with rubber collars that hold cutting in place while water jets stimulate root production. I positioned florescent T5 lights above the cloner.

Most cuttings root in about seven days. It took several weeks to force these citrus plants into producing roots.

The plants seem to be doing fine.
