How Can I Propogate Stem Cuttings From An Orchid Tree?

Question

I have several green stem cuttings from an orchid tree I am trying to propogate. I am having trouble finding information on proper technique however. So far I have cut all but two leaves, dipped the stem in rooting hormone, and stuck into soil. I am keeping it moist, but the leaves are wilting. I am unsure if I should cut them off, keep in or out of the sun, and considering placing on a heating pad, but I don’t know if that would be too much heat.

Answer 1

It is likely too much light if you keep these in direct sun.

Here are some articles that will help you to take cuttings and care for them properly:
