I’ve never propagated before but I’m doing a very special Christmas gift for my fiancé. For some background my fiancé’s mother abruptly passed away a few years back. She was very fond of this pomegranate tree in front of their family house. Pomegranates were very culturally significant to her. Unfortunately after her passing the family was evicted. So I took some twig in hope that I could propagate the tree. At first tried propagating 9 of them in potting soil and used rooting hormone. That was 2 weeks ago. No sign of rooting. So I thought that I would go back to the house and snip off a few twigs and try again . But the landlord has completely unearthed and discarded the parent tree . I made fresh cuts and I am now trying water propagation with the 9 twigs I have. I switched them to water as the leave are beginning to dry out. Any tips would be so deeply appreciated.

When I prop in water, I add an inch or two of perlite. Seems to help a lot of my props. I think it gives them something to root into that stays consistently moist plus it hold the cuttings up at the right level along with straight. Don’t know a thing about growing these tho. Best water prop method I know.
It’s a shame they demolished the tree. Maybe they didn’t know what it was.
