    I was just able to obtain a cutting from one of these. How do I propagate it?

    I find Poncirus trifoliata to be slow and difficult to root. You might be better off to grow these trees from seed. But since you already have a cutting, use some rooting hormone and plant it in a slightly acidic, porous medium.
