While this isn't necessarily under the "cuttings" topic, it's close. Don't forget that the easiest way to start new
plants from shrubs is often to simply place a rock over a low twig and let it form its own roots. Then, cut it from the parent when ready. This only applies if it's a
plant you already own, but it is easy to expand your azaleas, rhododendrons, forsythia, etc, this way. In fact, the
plant may already have started its own babies already. Saves the work of watching over cuttings. I'm still experimenting with other types of
plants. Certain
roses can succeed this way, too.
