Semi-hardwood cuttings are a similar method to softwood cuttings, although this technique will take a little longer to form roots, as the material is between a softwood and a woody stage.
Step by Step:
- Choose a healthy plant that has not been affected by pests or disease and which has no flowers or flower buds.
- Cut the side shoots from the parent plant ensuring that the cut is straight and clean.
- Dip the cuttings in rooting gel or hormone powder.
- Fill a clean container with relevant potting media and make a hole for each of your cuttings.
- Gently plant your cuttings and firm into place.
- Water well ensuring not to saturate.
- Put your container into a plastic bag and tie up loosely with an elastic band or similar.
- Keep in warm, dry and well-lit place out of direct sunlight.
- Keep moist and repot when ready.
