Rooting citrus is not as easy as many things but
here are some guidelines.

1. Use a cutting that is actively growing. This
insures the harmones to balance growth are there.

2. Use a fresh rooting harmone.

3. Use a cut off 3liter drink bottle to act as as a
mini greenhouse, not a bag.

4. Set this out in filtered light or bright shade.

5. May or June best here. Moderate warmth.

6. One or two leaves left on the cutting to make food.

7. When growth takes hold, move to a container.

8. Some varieties root better than others, good luck!
