Winter plant propagation from cuttings

June 30, 2015
Late winter (August–September) is ideal for hardwood cuttings of deciduous plants.
This method works well for many woody shrubs, vines, and trees that have woody, mature stems, dormant or slowed metabolic activity and the ability to root easily without active foliage.
  • Choose healthy, dormant, non-flowering stems.
  • Plant in moist, well-draining medium.
  • Place cuttings in a sheltered, bright area with indirect light.
  • Keep the medium moist, and check for roots after 6–8 weeks.
