Taking deshojo cuttings - what’s your trick

[Ben in Kzoo]

Hello nuts
I have acquired a deshojo. The tree looks great, but overgrown in some places
I would like to take cuttings, some of you seem to have very good success at it
What’s your trick?
Cheers

The trick is humidity. You're basically trying to prevent the leaf from dessicating long enough for roots to form. Thus, a humidity dome or something similar is a must. Only 1 to 2 leaves per cutting, and they should be close to the soil to minimize the distance required for nutrient transport.

And you'll still need luck.
