i Would Cut it down around 1" or 2" thick and cut with a clean blade and on a 45 Degree also run out to the home garden store and get some of that "mirical grow Re-Rooter" and just follow the instructions on the back make sure to mist and water once a day like i sead with the re-rooter as sead on the box... you should be fine from there i cant tell you wat kind of plant that is thow sorry.

so i want to get a twig off the plant that is about 1-2" thick? is that what you mean.

Also you don't really want the twig to be more than 6 inches tall. Make the cut at a leaf, and remove all the leafs besides 1 or 2 at the very top of the cutting. Doing this and having a sterilized knife will increase your success. It still won't hurt to do 3 or 4 cuttings so your chances of at least one making it are better.

It is definetly a Camelia. The yellowish leaves looks like it needs some azaelia/camelia fertilizer or some acid. Should root in sand and
Rootone with mister. They should thrive in Partial shade and moist well drained conditions
