I've tried taking cuttings at various times of year and various sizes and had no success (i've never had problems rooting cuttings with other plants). If they do air layer well, is there a best time of year for it?

They'd all been treated the same which appeared to be - saw through branch, plant in heavy soil - had lots of fine fibrous roots. Largest was probably 3", several of the others 2". I've layering one in the past - layer started rooting reasonably, tho' iirc I lost it due to my own stupidity like forgetting to water it.
