Propagating Warszewiczia coccinea

Nuevo Arenal, Costa Rica(Zone 11)

I have a Warszewiczia coccinea that has grown to about 6 feet in height in a large pot over the last 3 years. I have taken multiple cuttings from it but so far I have been completely unsuccessful in propagating it. I have had some of the cuttings remain green for several weeks but there has been no sign of any root formation whatsoever and the cuttings eventually go brown and dry. I have tried new wood, old wood, tip cuttings etc. to no avail and although it flowers profusely it never has seeds that I can identify. Can anyone give suggestions for successful propagation?

Ocala, FL(Zone 9a)

Did you use any rooting hormone? Also have to have 1 node under ground- soil can not dry out- but not soggy- so use very well draining soil. Can propagate only buy cuttings.
