2Dip the cuttings into root growth hormone.[3]Advertisement

3Fill a container with pumice or coarse sand. Place the cuttings into this container.

4Water gently and sparingly. It is important not to overwater the cuttings.[4]

5Keep the cuttings away from direct sunlight. Keep inside a sheltered plastic container if it's cold.
