Grevilleas are not necessarily easy to propagate but give it a go and you might like the results. Here is what to do.[1]

Steps

  1. 1
    Make cuttings of about 10 centimeter (3.9 in) in length. Choose firm, semi-ripe shoots. This can be done during summer or early autumn.[2]
  2. 2
    Dip the cuttings into root growth hormone.[3]

  3. 3
    Fill a container with pumice or coarse sand. Place the cuttings into this container.
  4. 4
    Water gently and sparingly. It is important not to overwater the cuttings.[4]
  5. 5
    Keep the cuttings away from direct sunlight. Keep inside a sheltered plastic container if it's cold.
  6. 6
    Use a spray mister to finely mist the cuttings regularly.
  7. 7
    Be patient. It'll be at least six months before you see any signs of roots; even then, it may not have been successful.
