the following bit of wisdom:

Has anyone else tried this way of getting cuttings?

Actually, yes I've done that with sprigs of rosemary. The plant tends
to be so darned hardy and ready and willing to root, I can't imagine
anyone not being able to propagate some almost at will.


Yes, if there was a top ten list of plants easiest to propagate by
cutting,
rosemary would be in it. Roots promptly, resists occasional drought
and is resistant to mold.

"Gardeners know all the best dirt!"

I put 7 rosemary cuttings dusted with rooting hormone in moist
vermiculite. Two out of the 7 rooted. I've read that usually half of
the rosemary cuttings will root.
