split at bottom of stem about quarter inch into the stem dip in water for 5 min put splinter in between stem you cut dip in rooting powder and plant about 4 inches into compost
Reply:Well first of all the cuttings must be new growth. First go to your local garden center and get some root starter. Then take your new growth cuttings and cut the ends at a 45 degree angle, dip the ends into the starter and plant in a good potting soil and water regularly, but don't overwater. Hope this helps Mike
