Use cuttings of firm new growth. Apply 0.1% IBA (rooting hormone) stick in well drained soil & mist

hey george,
many thanks. had just about given up!
a few questions:
1) size of cuttings? (how many nodes are advisable)
2) size of pots?
3) mist- uncovered or should i bag it and let leaves transpire (it is VERY hot here- most days upper 30s- lower 40s- obviously i will prop. on my patio which has shade all day)
4) if just mist, how often?
5) how detrimental is the rootng hormone? I am not sure the only existing nursery in my area carries it but if it's imp i will get it!

sorry for the ignorance but I really want to learn. propagation of all sorts of plants is becoming an obsession!
all the best,
dory

I have 3 huge (about 1/2" each) brown items that I am not sure if they are the actual seeds or pods that I have to open to find the seeds.

I would like to know how to propagate these seeds/pods to full rooting stage.

I'll appreciate any assist.

Thank you,

Jordan
