Winter is prime plant propagation time! If your concerned that the winter cold will kill some of your favorite plants, take cuttings and propagate them indoors or in a greenhouse. Also keep in mind spring is right around the corner. Its easier to take cuttings for plants and root them, then to start all the way from seed again.
Plant Propagation Tips:
1. Make clean cuts right underneath a leaf node. This is where the new roots will grow.
2. Some plants root easy in water, others do not. Experiment to find out what works best for you.
3. If rooting in soil – please please please try to use a “soilless” medium. Regular soils or compost are full of various pathogens that will infect/rot out your cuttings.
4. Use a rooting hormone powder to speed up and be more successful rooting cuttings.

Just a reminder to those of you that are experiencing cold weather finally this winter season walk around your garden and take cuting of any plants that you’re worried are going to get damaged or affected by the cold I walked around my garden and took a bunch of cuting for
Things like my passion fruit Vines basil and sweet potato vines put the cuting in an old jar of water and as soon as you see some Roots put them in a pot with some soil by Springtime you’ll have a bunch of new plants to plant out in your
Garden and you don’t have to worry about losing your favorite plants

Good idea.
Been watching for a few months now
Awesome
Or if you are limited in garden space all those rooted cuttings could be shared with family, friends, or neighbors if your original plants come through the cold just fine.
Super 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
My dining room is full of garden plants. I will be taking cuttings from them.
