- Preparing the Cuttings
Before you start, ensure that the plant you’re taking the cuttings from is healthy and free from rust, mildew, fungus, insect infestations, or other diseases. If you notice any of these issues, avoid taking a cutting from that plant.
Select fresh new growth, which is often red or purple. Some red or young growth is acceptable, but the majority of the stem where you’ll cut should be green. Avoid old, woody stems or overly soft, pliable material, as they generally don’t root effectively.
For fall cuttings, look for a stem with a faded flower or even the beginnings of a hip, with at least six sets of leaves. Use a clean, sharp knife or clippers to take an eight to nine-inch piece from an area with pencil-thick growth. Make the cut at a 45-degree angle and repeat as needed.
