Linda Generally, you have a jar of rooting compound available, cut the cutting right at a leaf node, dip it in the rooting compound then plant immediately in a mix of 1/3rd vermiculite, 1/3 sand and 1/3 good quality potting soil. Keep soil moist but not soaked. Depending on the plant, expect anywhere from a 30% to 100% success rate. Some plants are more cutting friendly than others. It's why I generally only do cuttings of succulents, but that's a personal preference. ;-) Look into "air layering". It's a little more trouble, but more of a sure bet. Good luck! -- Peace!
