When the cutting has developed a good network of roots (you will feel resistance when lightly tugging on the cutting), loosen the plastic bag to allow the cutting to begin acclimating to drier conditions. Monitor the bagged cutting, moistening the potting mix when necessary.Place the cutting in a loosely secured plastic bag to hold in moisture, then place it in a location with bright, indirect light, at a temperature of 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.Thoroughly moisten the potting mix, and press it firmly around the cutting to hold it in place. The bottom one-third of the cutting should be buried.
Plant each cutting in a small pot filled with porous seed-starter potting mix.Remove the leaves from the lower two-thirds of the cutting.The cutting should have at least three sets of healthy leaves. During the active summer growth period, use sharp pruners to clip several 4- to 6-inch branch segments, each containing a flexible green tip leading to firmer older wood.The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board.
