Cuttings
Grow new plants from cuttings taken from healthy mother plants. A cost-effective way to expand your garden with exact genetic copies of beloved varieties.
What Are Cuttings?
Cuttings are portions of a plant—typically stems, leaves, or roots—that can grow into new plants when properly rooted. This vegetative propagation produces plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant.

Rooting Cuttings
Success with cuttings depends on proper care:
• Handle cuttings promptly upon arrival
• Use appropriate rooting medium (water, perlite, or soil mix)
• Maintain high humidity for most cuttings
• Provide bright, indirect light
• Be patient—rooting can take 2-8 weeks depending on variety
Each seller provides specific rooting instructions for their cuttings. Follow their guidance for best results.
Shipping Considerations
Cuttings are living plant material that require careful handling. Most sellers ship cuttings during moderate weather and use appropriate packaging to keep them fresh. Check seller policies for shipping schedules and temperature holds.
