Has anyone had success propagating coffee plants? I am trying the same cutting for the third time now. 🤦‍♀️ I pulled off all except the top leaves, dipped the cutting in a little cinnamon, and stuck it in a four inch pot, which is the size it says to use online (not sure if i should have tho, since the soil pretty much never dried out). I watered it, misted it well, and put a plastic bag over it and stuck it under my grow light. Whenever I saw that all the condensation inside the bag was gone, I misted again. As long as I kept the bag on it, it stayed perky and even grew two new leaves, but if I took the bag off for any length of time it wilted. I kept it like that for several months and there was no root growth whatsoever. What am I doing wrong?
