No, it's not that simple. Suggest a trip to the local library and
check out a book on plant propagation. Let's not confuse rooting a
coleus with rooting a cutting from a tree. You can probably stick
thousands of your japanese maple cutting in soil and get rooting on
precisely zero, rootone or no rootone.

As for the guy who said it's not natural, well I certainly do not want
unnatrual acts and unspeakable practices taking place in my garden. I
intend to rally the clout of a senator from PA to propose a law
against it. Asexual reproduction even sounds perverse and certainly
perversity in any form must be against god's laws and must necessarily
be against ours.

Good christians all, we must join forces to stamp out asexual
behaviour or any other kind of sexual behaviour for that matter. If we
don't stop it at plants where will we stop it?
