The stem cuttings (rooting in soil, water, and coir) developed crystals on the surfaces and undersides of leaves. I was told that this is referred to as "plant edema," and is often the result of high humidity and cells over-hydrating till bursting (this releases nutrients, salts, oxalic acid, &c).
That's a useful observation. Sounds like maybe a case for increased FAE?
Yes, most likely. The crystals also dissolved from high humidity and heat, likely because they were washed away by droplets.

So far I am getting the best cutting results from whole leaves tucked in a ziplock with wet paper towel.
