Certified ExpertA.Some plants will root from bare cuttings if you have kept them moist and if you use the right process. Here is an article with more information:

Jonesborough, TNQ.does the description “stem cutting” really mean the stem of the seedling from which a length is taken, and not a recent branch?
for a Fall season rooting attempt, should the attempt be done indoors so that leaf-out will occur in the warmer temps?

Certified ExpertA.No, a cutting will be from an axial stem. The stem of a seedling is way too young to take a cutting, as they don't have branches to take cuttings from. Cutting the main stem of a seedling will be met with the plant's quick death.
When you take a cutting, make sure that this is from a mature specimen, or at least from one that has grown enough to recover from cutting in half. It needs to have branch or leaf nodes to replace what you have cut from the top. It is best, however, to take a cutting from a branch of an existing tree, so that you know you won't be hurting it by taking such a small amount of the tree.

48356Q.What Plants, Trees And Bushes(sp?) Can Be Rooted?
I have a few bushes, one of them being a lilac, that I would like to take cuttings from and develop them into viable plants. I know this can be done but I haven't been able to find what plants it can be done with. I'd like to do with a cutting from my neighbors red maple as well. Thank you. If someone knows of a website where I might get a listing of plants, trees bushes that can be done this way would be great.

Certified ExpertA.Schefflera cuttings root VERY easily. Place them into some soil and water. They will root within 2 weeks. Just keep them in bright but indirect light and keep the soil SLIGHTLY moist at all times until they show new growth. This article will give you more information on the care of these shrubs: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/schefflera/schefflera-plant-care.htm

Certified ExpertA.It would depend on the type of tree. You have to stay within each Genus to be able to graft. Such as, apples can't graft to oranges, and so on. So, it will depend on the tree that you intend to graft.
