DO YOU PROPAGATE
your plants to make more? When do you take the cuttings? What rooting hormone do you use? Are you rooting them in sand, vermiculite, perlite, potting soil?
I've been researching information for propagating some of my backyard plants and thought I would share a few of my finds.

Last fall I put 8 lavender cuttings into sand and kept the pot warm and around grow lights. Today I dumped it out and found that every cutting had roots. So now I want to do more.
What's your experience with propagating plants with vegetative cuttings?
More cold nights coming. Plan to protect your young plants.
