I have a small, about 4 feet high Boxwood plant and was wondering, how
easy
is it to grow cuttings from this
plant?

I thought maybe trying to start some indoor plants?



It's relatively easy, but now is not the time to do it unless there is
new, fresh green growth on the plant now. Trim off about four to six
inches and dip the end into rooting powder and keep the soiless mix
moist, not wet. Also, it should be kept warm.



I'm not sure I'd want indoor boxwood.. we have several in our front yard
and they have a tendency to smell like cat pee. Maybe it's just certain
varieties,
but the smell is really strong some days.
