I don't have any experience with olive trees, but it is generally better to take cutting in the spring when temperatures are between 70 - 80 degrees. You could try rooting them indoors in pots that are placed on a heating mat.

Can I do this with a dumb cane plant? I've seen them do air layering for it but I can't understand how to do it without actually seeing how its done.  Thanks.

@1EAGardener I've never seen air layering without either removing a section of the bark or cutting halfway through the stem. Do you usually use this method or is it something which is specific to Brugmansia?
