Why Do Cuttings Fail? Try These Propagation Tips

Garden plants can be propagated in a number of ways.1 But one of the easiest methods is to take stem seedlings, place them in water or growing medium until they develop roots, and then plant the rooted seedlings in pots or in the ground.

Unlike propagation by seeds collected from the mother plant, propagation by cuttings ensures that the new plants are genetically identical to the mother plant. (With hybrid plants, propagating collected seeds can result in plants that look different.)

Rooting propagation from cuttings is a very common way to create new houseplants, but it can work for many garden plants as well. In cold climate zones, many gardeners take young annual plant seedlings and root them indoors to have a supply of new plants for spring garden planting.

Propagation by rooting from stem cuttings is most successful with soft-stemmed herbaceous plants, but many woody plants are also susceptible to this method.
