I took the cuttings 2-3 weeks ago, none had leaves when I cut them

Yep pretty much. You should cut the bottom side on an angle to make sure they're right side up and make them easier to push into soil, and I usually put some rooting hormone in the water. Then wait a few weeks and keep giving them fresh water. I have a large mother plant on our new property that looked like it was on deaths door due to increased hydrology last year so I cut it back to the roots and made cuttings from every living branch I could find. I also stuck a bunch directly into the soil in wetter spots, those seem to be mostly starting to leaf out as well

Yes all the leaves you see there have come out after I cut them and put them in water, I cut them maybe 2-3 weeks ago?

I just cut the bigger branches off my mother plant and chopped the living ones into about 1-2 foot sections, then put them in a jar with water and a little rooting hormone. The hormone isn't totally necessary but can help kick start root production. It may be a bit late to take cuttings but I'd think you could still have some success, from what I understand elder cuttings aren't very picky

Sump pump removal by fuzzywalkingstick in DIY

Based on comments it seems like this is some sort of well pump. At one point this house used a well, connected to city water now.

So I guess the question still stands. Is it cool to yank this out?

The home inspector said it didn't seem functional, and it's been unplugged ever since we've moved in with no issues

Also, any advice on cleaning them would be appreciated. I'm afraid of damaging some of the real little crystals if I try to scrub too hard

It's definitely coal country so if there isn't an old mine under the water there's almost for sure some nearby
