Don't take my word for it cause I was wrong once a long, long time ago. I may be wrong again.
Those leaves are dormant buds and have come out of dormancy due to spring like conditions. The energy was already there, stored in the tissues. You will most likely not see any roots form and eventually the leaves will wither and die.
I say this only because I have only heard of one person who has been able to document a successful airlayer with pictures and have never heard of anyone doing so with cuttings. Now like I said earlier, don't take my word for it. Keep trying and please document with pictures your successes, if there are any. I hope it works.
P.S. I grew up in a bald cypress swamp in South East Texas and have sinced moved to yankee hell. I miss seeing those trees everyday, but my lawnmower don't miss those knees.
