Propagation by Cuttings
« on: March 06, 2015, 04:03:46 PM »
I am interested in propagating new plants from my Cherry Guava, Blackberry Jam Fruit, and Pepper vine.   What are the best practices for maximizing success when propagating from cuttings?

For herbaceous plants. such as Basil, starting them in water seems to work best.  For figs, I've had more success planting directly in soil in a plastic tent to maintain high humidity.  What works with Cherry Guava, Blackberry Jam Fruit, and Pepper?

Or is it easier to air-layer?

I've propagated black pepper by the cutting. I used rooting powder. It needs good humidity, and keep it out of sun. It's even easier to let the vine root. Take your pepper and lie it on the soil, it will put roots, and proceed to cut.
