It does work I have done it but it takes a long time and not all of them root. You can do it with coco peat and some plastic. It took about a year before mine got enough roots to plant. There are some channels which show how to do it, King Chuo is one of them. I think propagatibg from cuttings is best because growing them from seed takes a very long time. They are slow growers though, I have owned a tree for 12 years and it's only five feet. edit: here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Va3Ndmr1VU.html I tried it and the marcots grew roots after about a year
