I have been able to root softwood cuttings before which already had leaves over the summer when the conditions are right, but since my plants have plenty of branches by now, I'm trying them indoors and one thing I'm finding out is that the ones with flower buds tend to fail easily once the flowers get close to opening up as it probably uses up too much energy. The blueberry seeds I planted 6 weeks ago are not coming up at all so they probably don't have viability.
One of my cups has 2 cuttings that have already developed their own leaves and have likely started the rooting process and these happened to not have a single flower bud on them so I think I need to choose the cuttings with only branch buds. They also tend to rot easily when cuttings are taken over the winter since the sunlight is so much weaker, but these should be pretty established cuttings in a couple months when they go outside.
