Begin making cuttings of some of your favorite plants. Plants from which cuttings may be made are holly, viburnum, pittosporum, azalea, camellia, sasanqua, and yellow jasmine. Make cuttings 5 to 6 inches of tip growth, leaving from 3 to 4 leaves on each cutting. Treat the base of each cutting with a root-inducing hormone such as Horomodin #1 or #3 or Rootone. Place cuttings in moist sand, vermiculite or a mixture of both. Keep the bed damp and humidity as high as possible.
