I'd like to try propagating tomatoes with cuttings . I have some rooting
hormone powder , but am unsure of how big the plants need to be , and what
to cut off to try this . Anyone been there and done that ?


Tomatoes root at the drop of a hat: Stick any size cutting in dirt; keep
it damp, stand back. New growth means they've struck.
Since they'll root anywhere along the stem, you don't need to worry about
leaf nodes, etc.
