Make cuttings in early summer. Choose healthy branch tips and make a clean cut with a sharp knife or razor blade about 4 inches long. Make sure each cutting includes at least two leaf nodes and that none of your cuttings has fruit or flowers.
Fill small pots with standard potting soil and water until the soil is saturated. Make one planting hole in the center of each pot with your screwdriver or pencil, making it deep enough to accommodate your cutting about 1 1/2 inches deep. Plant only one cutting in each pot.
Dip the cut end of your clipping in a rooting hormone, following product instructions.
Insert your clipping into its planting hole, and fill around it with more potting soil. Water again until you see water draining from the pot’s hole.
Enclose your potted clipping inside a clear plastic bag, and seal it with a twist tie. This will help to keep the environment humid, which the cutting needs in order to form roots. Keep it away from direct sun, and expect your clipping to form roots within eight weeks.
