Sooo I just want to know if I did this right. I took a cutting from an japanese laceleaf maple, applied rooting powder and planted it. Just want to know if the cutting I took looks right and if it will actually grow since it's only 2 leads on top??

Hello.
Usually I take off the leaves down low on the stem before planting cuttings.
But it is always a gamble; it can take or not, there are many factors involved.
Here's a step by step for Acers in general:
The process of rooting a cutting from a Japanese maple is very simple.
? Prepare a pot or flat by filling it with moist potting soil.
? Find new growth on the tree and cut that small branch.
? Remove the lower leaves from the branch and leave two or three leaves toward the top of the cutting.
? Place the branch into the soil being sure to bury at least one leaf node (be sure the leaf has been removed first). Before planting it, you can first dip the branch into water, then in rooting hormone as this may insure the branch will sprout roots. However,? you might have good success without it.
? Place the pot inside a plastic bag, but leave the bag open for air. The purpose of this step is to keep the plant moist at all times.
? The pot should be in a warm place, but not direct light.
? Using a hand sprayer, mist the cutting several times a day and keep the soil moist. If you’re fortunate enough to have an automatic misting system, you won’t need to hand mist.
? When you begin to see vigorous new leaves growing, that means you have successfully grown roots!

I heard that dissectums don’t root easily, but I hope you’ll be lucky with this one.

(maybe selfish, but... If that cutting roots out and stay alive, I would buy a potent nursery dissectum to degraft from the rootstock with an air-layer.)
