Can anyone give me some advise as to how well melaleuca cuttings go

My neighbour down the road has heavily trimmed his tree and I am not shore how well they take as cuttings. I have collected some of the better branches and trimmed them back to a suitable size, Place them in a bucket with super thrive and seasol mix. Not to shore were to go from here or if what I have done is the best thing. :?

Any help would be appreciated

I tried to get in earlier but got bumped what Jamie has done is the way. I have even struck a M,quinquenervia in crushed gravel and water.
Just watch them making sure they do not dry out.

Cheers :) Pup
