Hello everyone. I recently attempted to take some softwood cuttings
from
my dad's fuchsia plant, being a complete beginner I'm not holding out
a
great deal of hope that they'll root.

The secret is to take the tips on non-flowering branches, strip off all
leaves save the top five or so, nip out the growing tip, dip the stem
end into hormone powder,

You don't need hormone powder. They root remarkably easily.

place these cuttings round the edge of a small
post containing dampened vermiculite or a sand mixture, put into a
plastic bag with the top closed, place the whole thing in a shady
position. Keep an eye on them, nd open the bag if there is too much
condensation.
