If you want to propagate by cutting, simply cut the stem with shoots tip 5-7 inches long just below the node.<\/p>\n<p>5. Take cutting in the spring season using a clean sharp knife.<\/p>\n<p>6. Wash cutting shoots with dilute broad-spectrum fungicide.<\/p>\n<p>7. Use<b> rooting hormone (IBA)<\/b> to induce roots in cutting end.<\/p>\n<p>8. Use potting mix like <b>45% coco peat + 45 % soil + 5% sand +5% compost.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>9.

Press the potting mix by hand to firm the cutting ends in potting medium and water t gently.<\/p>\n<p>11. Now pots are taken under the semi-shade area till roots well develop.<\/p>\n<p>12.
