copperleaf propagation success rate

The velvety, copper leaves of Acalypha poiretii beckoned, a siren song of vibrant color. But coaxing life from a cutting proved a delicate dance. Each tiny snip, a gamble against rot; each misting, a prayer for burgeoning roots. The humid air, thick with the scent of damp earth, hung heavy with anticipation. Finally, a tentative green shoot, a tiny victory won against the odds, unfurled, a testament to patience, a reward glittering brighter than the copper itself.
