How to Take Plant Cuttings

Take cuttings from vigorous, healthy shoots. Most cuttings should be 4 to 6 inches long. Cut just below a node (where a leaf is attached) with a sharp, clean knife.

Remove leaves from the lower half of the cutting. Use a rooting hormone on all except easy-to-root plants such as coleus. Rooting compounds are available in many garden supply stores, mail-order seed and nursery companies, and mass merchandisers. Carefully use the hormone as directed. Keep cuttings clean. Don't place them in dirty containers or on dirty tables.

Containers

A 6- to 8-inch plastic pot can be used to root several cuttings. Place the pot in a large plastic bag and close it to maintain high levels of humidity.
