Was out collecting a few fig cuttings today and decided to grab a weeping lilly pilly branch cutting. Diameter approx 40mm, bout 150mm long with a fresh new growth. Dipped it in rooting gel and potted in river sand, what are the chances of it taking?

Hi Hornet, I am interested to know if the cutting rooted given its size.
So could you please update this one?
