Indoor Plant Propagation from Cuttings

FAQ About Indoor Plant Propagation from Cuttings

What is the difference between softwood, semi-hardwood, and hardwood cuttings?

Softwood cuttings are taken from the soft, new growth of a plant and root quickly, often found in spring. Semi-hardwood cuttings are partially mature and typically taken in summer, providing a balance between rapid rooting and strength. Hardwood cuttings are mature and woody, taken in fall or early winter, and may take longer to root but provide strong plants once established.
