Starting curry tree from cuttings, again, and it worked this time!

I tried it again, after 3 previous failures, and it worked this time! At least one of them. There might be a green bud started on one of the other 3, but the one has several green buds. I tried the same thing as when I trimmed the curry tree back in fall, when it was time to bring in. These are not soft stem cuttings, like basil, but hardwood cuttings, with no leaves left on them, but the nodes is where the new growth starts.

How exciting! What made the difference, I wonder?

My curry tree died. But that's o.k., It was getting too big and I did not use it much anyway. They can grow from cuttings or seed.
