✨ Tips for Successful Propagation:

✅ Always select healthy branches about 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) long.
Choose young, semi-hardwood stems (not too soft and not fully woody). Look for branches free from disease or damage. Ideally, take your cuttings early in the morning when the plant is well-hydrated.

✅ Remove leaves from the lower half of the cutting.
Use clean pruning shears or a sharp knife to gently strip off the leaves from the bottom 2–3 inches. This prevents rotting where the cutting is buried and helps the plant focus energy on root development instead of sustaining leaves.

✅ Dip the cut end in rooting hormone to encourage strong root growth.
Lightly moisten the cut end, then dip it into rooting hormone powder or gel. Tap off any excess. This step significantly increases your success rate and helps roots form faster.

✅ Plant in a pot or directly in the ground, keeping the soil moist and warm until roots develop.
Use a well-draining, sterile potting mix (like a blend of peat and perlite). Make a small hole with a stick or pencil, insert the cutting carefully, and firm the soil around it. Keep the soil consistently damp but never soggy. If propagating outdoors, choose a spot protected from heavy rain.

✅ Provide gentle sunlight and shelter from wind.
Place the pot in bright indirect light or filtered sun. Avoid intense midday rays that could dry out the cutting. You can cover the pot with a clear plastic bag or dome to create a mini-greenhouse, keeping humidity high—just ensure some air circulation to prevent mold. If outdoors, protect young cuttings from strong winds, which can break them or cause excessive moisture loss.🌱✨
